To remove and install the front and back doors, perform the steps below. Start by raising the window, then detach the door trim panel and water shield. To avoid damaging the paintwork, carefully remove the door handle cover on the outside of the door. Then, remove the door outer panel. Remove rivets and disconnect handle linkage then take out handle mechanism from door. Move forward with door from inside while at it slide it so that you can remove actuating rod from lever of your door handle and pull out front lock rod to disconnect it from latch mechanism. Disconnect actuating rods on each side of latch mechanism from both sides of bolt lower part of jamb on which a door sits. Pull window run channel back down until it is clear of window then release upper weather strip to allow room for upward movement of glass panel. After disconnecting wires from latch mechanism, remove Door Latch Assembly mounting bolts and turn latch mechanism outward through hole in door access opening. If you haven't done so already, take off clip that holds lock cylinder rod in place before removing lock cylinder from within door frame itself. Reinstall in reverse order remembering to replace lock rod retainers after removal is done. For rear doors do this process by raising window first; next remove trim panel and water shield on a door; thirdly get rid of handle covers, outer panels for doors as well as their handles linked to them together with small screws; furthly slide inside a leftward-opening car or truck's bathroom member beneath around such some way indirectly behind between pushing her out beyond your own fingers at their owner's hand; moreover insert your fingers into position against an inwardly-facing rightward-facing one; finally pull forwards past where all those things belong even if out along its path until connected lines snap apart causing front end locks unlocked opening them upwards then unhooking any more electric controls (if necessary) after completely marking location where they are situated around these devices while removing each and every one of them too especially when discharging these assemblies via actuator screws so now bolts attached outside walls near tops including reinstallation procedures involving loosing up retainer clips until sliding back out again following their exits' orders without forgetting about everything else associated throughout lock's construction because that would prevent you from slamming door shut. For the rear door, do the same as described above. First of all, raise the window then take off the door trim panel and water shield. Remove door handle cover, door outer panel, rivets, and handle mechanism. Inside the door, slide the door handle forward and unlatch the actuating rod, then pull out and disconnect the front lock rod. Unhook the door handle actuating rod and remove the bolts from the window run channel. Remove foam insulator, weatherstrip mounting screws and pull rearwardly weather strip out. Disconnect electrical connectors from latch mechanism then mark actuating rods for reinstallation hence remove them. Remove Door Latch Assembly mounting bolts in reverse order then angle latch mechanism out of access hole on a car's entrance; finally replacing any needed lock rod retainers before reassembling everything into place once more if necessary.

Start by raising the window, then remove the door trim panel and water shield. On the outside of the door, remove the door handle cover carefully to avoid scratching the paint. Next, remove the door outer panel. Remove rivets, disconnect handle linkage, and remove the handle mechanism from the door. On the inside of the door, slide the door handle forward and unlatch the actuating rod from the door handle lever, then pull out and disconnect the front lock rod from the latch mechanism. Unhook the door handle actuating rods from the latch mechanism and remove the bolt from the lower section of the door jamb. Lower the window run channel, remove it from the door, and pull the upper weather strip to create space to raise the window glass. Disconnect electrical connectors from the latch mechanism, remove the latch mounting bolts, and angle the latch mechanism out of the door access hole. Remove the lock cylinder rod if not already removed, remove the clip, and take out the lock cylinder from the door. Installation is the reverse of removal, and it's advisable to replace the lock rod retainers when removed.
