My front right door got door bashed by another door,, its pretty bad but not so bad that I shouldnt be able to remove the dents from the inside out. Anyone else have a door apart yet? is there sound deadening material on the inside of the door? Thanks

It's REALLY easy. You will need to remove the two screws on the sides of the doors. YOu will see them, they is one on each side. Next, you will need to remove the screw that is located on the backside of the interior door handle. This will allow you access to the two torz screws that actually hold the panel on. Remove the two torx screws then gently pull the door panel upwards.

There are a few wire harnesses you will need to unplug as well as the door latch cable. This is easy to remove, it is only hooked on the door handle.

I know this sounds overwhelling, but seriously, I can take my door panels off in less than 2 minutes.

Good Luck.

That was so easy, thanks. more..

I never would have found the two hidden screws if it wasnt for you, thanks. OF my two HUGE dents, I was able to make one dissapear but the other is behind an inner door brace so its unacesable but.. I was sure surprized that even though the door was hit hard,, very hard, the only paint damage was what was left from the other vehicle. I'm impressed.
