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 rear inside door panel on this 2000 Nissan Altima, basically the same for a '98 to '01 Altima. Tools you'll need are a small flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a putty knife or something similar to pry out on the door panel.
Start by taking a flat blade screwdriver, and there's a little trim button right down in here. You have to be careful of all this sticky stuff down in here sometimes. Pry that up, and then there's a Phillips screw there. Then, here, you need to carefully you can see this actually has already been broken go in here, pry out. Up here, pry out. Up here, pry out as well. Remove this bezel, and you can see it has four places where clips go in. Here, I'm just using a Phillips screwdriver. Take out that screw, and pull up on that pull cup. The whole assembly comes up and off. A switch comes out with it, backwards and out, and then underneath there's a tab on the harness where it connects. Push the tab down, disconnect the harness. Pull out, work your fingernails underneath, and pull out on the door panel and release a bunch of clips. Then lift the panel up and off.
Clip this on. You want to get the back clip in here first. Then I go at it, push it up, and then on. Now bring the front up, push it in towards the window and down on. Hook the edges in. Put this back in place, down in, and grab the harness. Reconnect that. Push this part in first, back down in. Put our Phillips screw back in and then our little trim button.
