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'll show you how to remove and replace the rear door panel on this 2004 Chrysler Sebring. The only tools that you're going to need for this process is a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet.

To start off, you use your flat blade screwdriver and just pry up these two little trap doors here. As you can see, there's one Phillips screw in there, there's one in there. Down here, there's two more. We'll just fast-forward as Don removes those four Phillips screws. You want to just pry out the panel to release the clips. We'll do this on the other side. Then your door panel will just lift up and off. To the side of the door panel, you'll see this little clip here. With your door handle rod, you'll just want to pry this off with your flat blade screwdriver. Then you want to just push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Then your door panel is free.

Now, to reinstall your door panel, you just want to push that harness back into place. Then take your door handle rod and put the clip back on to it. You just want to line your door panel up over the walk and hit clips in around the edges. Then we're going to fast-forward as Don replaces these four Phillips screws and closes the two trap doors. You're all set.
