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're going to show you how to remove and reinstall a door panel on a Ford F-250. This particular one is a 2011 with XLT trim. The only thing you'll need is a 7mm socket and ratchet with an extension.

To start, use a screwdriver and pry this little panel off. There are two 7mm bolts there, and there's another two down at the bottom. Two panels are clipped down. First, the one where your door lock switch is and your window switch, that just pulls straight up. I'm going to pull the front straight up and the back straight up, and then there are harnesses for each. Little tabs that you press with your thumb or finger, and pull the harnesses out. Then on top, you may need a plastic tool or a screwdriver to carefully pry straight up on the mirror switch panel. I try and do as much I can with just my fingers so I don't end up scratching the plastic on the door panel at all. Then pull straight up, and straight up on the sides, and then straight up on the end. Again, there are two harnesses that plug in, and use your fingers, push the tab, and disconnect. Pull straight out on this panel. Now pull the door panel up and off.

To reinstall, I lift the panel up in place. You'll want to put the door lock knob through at the top first. Actually, what I'm doing is pulling the wiring harnesses for the door locks and the power windows through, then put the panel up in place. Make sure the door lock goes through, and then look down and see the different clips that go into the door. Then you rest it on the bottom two at first, make sure again that your harnesses are through. Then put the door lock knob through, and push the panel against the door and slide it down into place. Then make sure it's fully engaged and it's nice and tight against the door handle all the way through, or all the way around. I apologize for the angle here, but I'm putting the two switch panels back in place. Connect the harnesses, and then snap them back into place. The mirror's done, and now I'm doing the window and door lock panel. A little high speed here as I put the four bolts back in. Then I replace that little trim panel. It does only go in one way. I'm trying to do it upside down right here, and then I figure out that it goes the other way and snaps right into place. Then the filler panel snaps right into place.
