In this video, we're going to show you how to remove the driver's front door panel on this 1994 Camry, same as any '92 to '96 Camry although on some of the higher level cars with up level stereos there may be an extra speaker to disconnect. The only tools you'll need are a Phillips screwdriver and a flat blade screwdriver. We're going to start out by removing this trim panel up here. You just kind of put your fingers in behind. If you want, you can use the screwdriver. It just popped out. See, it has little pins that go in the grouts there. Now, you need to remove this bezel around your door handle. You do that by inserting a screwdriver at the top prying up some and pulling it out. Okay, now do the same thing at the bottom prying up with the screwdriver and pulling it out with my fingers. That comes up. Close up of where you've placed your screwdriver in order to pry that bezel. Now, you need to remove four covers that show screws. Basically, just kind of pry these right off.

Now, just going to keep my hand over them because sometimes they'll go flying a little bit. There's another one right up in here. Pry it out and pull it out by hand. Then there's another one right down here. Same thing. Now, remove five screws, one, two, okay, three, four, and then one in there, five. Okay, then on the end of the door, there's two pins. You actually push the center of the pin in. As you pull it out ... Here's a close up. Push in the pin and use the screwdriver or your finger nail to pry those two pins out of the end of the door. Now, there are four pins along the bottom of the door. I just recommend getting your hand underneath. Give it a good, quick tug. One of my screws came out of the armrest there. Okay, now you just lift your panel up and off. Then the last step is to disconnect this course. There's a little button right here underneath. Press and work the connection out. If you have the up level stereo with the tweeter in the door pole, you'll need to disconnect those.

What you want to make sure is you have your all four yellow clips in the door panel. Sometimes, you can actually stay in the door and just use a pair of pliers. Pull them out. Put them back in. The door panel pretty easy. First, hook up our car window switch again. Okay, and then put it up. Push the top in against the window; make sure hang it down still correctly. Then kind of look in behind and make sure our clips on the bottom go into the holes and if it doesn't go ... These little clips in the back, what you want to do is push them back out so they're like that. Then insert them into the hole. Push the outside and then push the middle in. Same thing. Okay, we'll fast forward to reinstalling those five Phillips screws and you make sure you get them into their holes so that they hold. When you tighten them, you want to tighten them up nice and firm. Then reinstall our trim panels. Push the front in first. This has a little tab that lines up with the slot in the panel.
