Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to remove and replace the door panel on this 2000 Toyota Celica. The tools you need include a flat blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.
To start off, you just want to remove this little triangular panel up here, as well as these two little caps. Behind the door handle, this little bezel here just pries right out. You've now uncovered these three Phillips screws. You want to just go ahead and remove those. We'll fast-forward as Don does this.
At the bottom of the door panel, you'll see there are three more Phillips screwdrivers. There's one there, and then there's two down here. Again, we'll just fast-forward as Don removes those. Remove your power mirror switch if you have one by prying up on the back side, pulling it up and out. Then there's a little tab on the harness. Press the tab and disconnect. Now you can just pry out around the door to release the clips on the back. Then the door panel, just lift up and pull out. Pull back on these cables, and then forward to release them. The door panel is free.
To reinstall your door panel, it's just a reverse of the procedure. Take these cables, put them in. You can clip them back into the handle. As you bring it close, put the mirror harness through the door panel. Then you want to line up that panel up into the window sill there, and push it down into place.
Now you want to just hit around the panel to reengage those clips. You can reconnect your power mirror switch, and just push it down into place. We'll fast-forward here as Don replaces those six Phillips screws in the door panel. Then replace the bezel behind the door handle, the triangular panel, and those two caps.
