well, i finally got a new mirror to replace the one my wife broke off pulling out of the garage, so i need to put it on.

when i removed the old one, i couldn't get the door panel completely off. i was in a hurry, so maybe i just missed a screw. if anyone has any pointers on removing the drivers side door panel, i would appreciate it.

thanks

 

there is a cosmetic plastic piece that runs along the door handle. Gently pull on this from the side closest to the steering wheel. After there should be 2-3 bolts holding the door panel in place.

 

after everything is off, the panel pops up and out. it will not pull out towards you. up and out..

 

how many screws are holding the panel in place? (good to know when i'm changing out the speakers )

 

if you need to know i can find out. I had someone clip mine off, and i could ask my bodyshop guy what the process is.

 

 

awesome....thanks guys for the help!!!

 

ah, nice image! thanks.

 

Great image, way to look after your Org brothers...

 

you should be all set..

 

can one of the mods add this thread into the how-to stickies? i know i was looking through it to see if there is a how-to for the door panel removals, but never found one.

 

they can't. thats material is copy writen.

but, on www.6thgenmaxima.org I have all of it on there from interior to exterior break down. you have to register to see it, its a free fourm..

 

oh wow, dunno why i didn't bother looking in that forum. i'm a member there as well, same username.
