Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to remove and reinstall a rear door panel on this 2005 Hyundai Elantra. It's pretty much the same for any Elantra of this era. We show you the driver side, but the passenger side rear is the same procedure. You're only going to need a small flat blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.
Taking off the door panel, I'm going to pop out my trim pieces that cover the fasteners. This is one, another down here. I'm just using a flat blade screwdriver. That's two, three. Located the door handle screw, the side screw, under the grab handle, and upper left. Taking a Phillips screw, it holds the bezel under the door handle. Next, I'll pull the handle out, and it'll slip right past it. Just speed up here as we remove the rest of the Phillips screws.
I'm going to use my knee to hold the door open while I give a little bit of a tug to the handle, enough to get some room with my hand, and feel around to the clips. I'll just gently separate them from the door. Once those are free, you can lift up, and I'm removing the window switch harness. There's a tab on the top of the harness.
The door panel's going back in. I connect my harness. I rest the window seal on the sill, push down, make sure my hole's lined up for my fasteners, and then give it Pop the clips back in. Starting from this side, put my handle bezel back on. Again, we'll fast-forward as we just put those screws back in and tighten them up. Put my trim pieces back on.
