ok so my drunk friend pulled the door panel of my drivers rear door. i seen the little round clip thingys that i need to reattach. my questions is HOW DO I REATTACH THE STUPID CLIP THINGYS AND GET GET MY DOOR PANEL BACK ON?!

ive spent too many hours trying to get it back on already. and yes i am mechanically stupid enough to get out smarted by a door panel... (hey im a medic not a mechanic)
is there something simple im missing or what?
the dealer wanted a $60 minimum to put it back on...

thanks

Do not give the dealer your 60 dollars. That would be like handing him your pen-is.

Take all the plastic panel fasteners out of the door frame, place them in their slots in the door panel. Press panel back into door frame.

Done.

just take your time and do it right. as my dad would tell me,,

you only have to be 10% smarter then the door

 

10% ?!
well sh*t there is my problem!

ok, i will try that.
i will take pics and post them here for the benefit of the next guy who is only 4% smarter than his door.



thanks

i just replaced my regulator in my front door. it was no biggie. just take your time and make sense of things before you let it kick your butt

 

yeah the clips need to be on the door panel not in the door before you put it on... so take all the clips out the door and reinstall them onto the panel... then take the panel with all the pins on it and line it up with the holes where the clips go... apply pressure directly over the clips and they will pop in... hopefully ur friend didnt mess the panel up too bad...

 

Charge your friend $30 to fix your door and tell him it's at least half of what the dealer will charge.

 

Agree. There definitely should be a bludgeoning for your friend...

 

See, this is why I dont drink, no, wait, its because I always wind up naked in a Wal-Mart somewhere.

 

Next time your fried gets drunk strap his *** to the roof rack.
