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 reinstall a rear door panel on this 2005 Dodge Durango, a pretty easy operation. The only tools you need include a small flat blade screwdriver, and a Phillips screwdriver.
First there's a little trapdoor in here. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to go in and pry it out. You have a Phillips screw there, as well as one down here and one further back. I'm going to speed it up here as I use a Phillips screwdriver to remove those three screws. Once you have those screws out, lift up and pull out on the panel. Back in here you'll see a little blue clip. Pull that blue clip off. Pull that up and out, and then your connector for your window switch is right here. Press on the little tab. Now just pull the panel off.
Reinstall your door panel. Put your window harness up in. Reach back there and bring this out; push it down in. Lock the clip on. If you look down there are hooks. You have all these hooks, so you look at the bottom ones to make sure you get the bottom ones in. Bring it up. Make sure the lock goes down and behind. Make sure your lock comes up through. Push the panel on. Make sure it goes in flush, and then lock it down. Now put your three screws back in. Again, we'll fast-forward through that. Three Phillips screws, tighten them up, and tighten them nice and firm don't over-tighten them, though. Put this little trapdoor back on.
