Do you think a door will fit inside?

I found a door that I can replace with my banged up one, but do you think it'd fit in the back seat or trunk so that I can drive it home on the highway?

I went with my friend and his son to buy 2 doors and they both fit inside the car with 3 ppl. No door fits in the trunk. 1 door is a no brainer totally fits. My doors even had door panels on.

You may have to pull your front seats up a little but I think it'd fit.

Funny, Ive had a drivers door replaced in both my 4th gens

The door fits in the backseat without a problem.

I just got the door yesterday and you have to be careful when you put it in the car, to not scratch leather or break glass.

Ill put up a pic later

does your back seat not fold down, or do you think the door wouldnt fit in? As far as I know all maximas (at least 5.5 gens) had fold down back seats.

lmao this thread makes me laugh. do yourself a favor and the seller, go get a truck or have a friend help you out that has access to a truck.

To answer your question and as others have stated, the door wont fit into the trunk (unless you bunjee cord the trunk). It will fit in the back seat with some creativity. Both front seats will need to be brought forward but it will fit. The reason I know this is because I have had a number of people (like yourself) try this out when I was parting maximas out.

G'luck!

Tuner forgot that he drives a G now. Those seats don't fold down. My dad's 07 G Sedan (MT for those that care) just had this little cubby hole (pass through) that opened, it was good for grabbing stuff while you were in the back seat or travelling with long skinny items but other than that it was pretty pointless.

My back seat folds down but the opening size is a joke. With both sides folded down I would estimate a foot high by two wide maybe.

its not a huge opening and its a funny shape, but if you could get the door in the opening of the trunk I bet it would fit pretty far through the seat opening. Sounds like it doesnt fit through the trunk opening anyway though

Just becareful. You know how those rear doors don't open to 90°. I've scratched up my door panels a bit putting stuff in there.

I forgot, yes, they do fold down. It's just pointless because of the retarded cutout that it allows, which must have been what I was remembering.

They might as well not fold down, for all the pass-through they provide when folded.

And doors that don't even open all the way on a big sedan, yet another great 5th gen feature

Some days I want to burn this car.
