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're going to show you how to remove and replace a rear door panel on this 2003 Nissan Altima. Pretty much the same procedure for any 2002 to 2006 Altima. We're going to show you the right hand or passenger side, but the left hand driver side's the same. You'll only need a flat blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.
In your pull cup here there's a small little screw cover, just pry that out and remove the Phillips screws that's under there. Now carefully pry up your switch panel. Then disconnect the window switch by pushing on the tab on the harness. Behind your door handle there's this little panel. You want to remove that, and then remove the Phillips screw in there, then the one in this pull cup. Once those are removed, just pull out along the edges of the door panel to separate the clips on the back. Then lift the door panel up and off.
On the back of the door panel are these two cables. You want to pull them out of the door, push them forward, and disconnect them.
Now to reconnect them you want to clip them in, push them forward, and then push them back into the door.
Now put your door panel up onto the window sill and push it down. Then hit around the edges to reactivate those clips. Make sure your window switch harness comes through. Now we'll fast-forward here as Don replaces the Phillips screw in the pull cup and the Phillips screw behind the door handle, and then replaces that little cover. Now reconnect your window switch and push the switch panel down into place. Replace that other Phillips screw in the pull cup and the screw cover that goes over it. You're all set.
