I finally got the passenger side door panel in. Only been since Christmas.


There's been bad weather, cold weather delays, but most delays have been because this is such a PITA!!! HOLY CRAP. These panels don't come plug and play, you have to make holes for the trim to go on and holes for the window crank and screws as well. They also are a PITA to get on the dang door. Mind you, I'm no interior installer and I would definitely go broke at that job, but at least it's done. I'm glad I don't have to do that ever again. No, wait. I have to do the dang driver side now!!! ARGGGGGG!!!!!!

Can anyone share my pain and pour me a drink?

Good Job, one at a time, the second one should go on a little easier..

I done both of mine this spring, (early spring) Your right. It's a little time consuming, but when you are done they look great! I still have the dash to do, that one I'm not to sure about.

Nope. Door clips had slot provided already.

looks great. know the pain about cutting the holes. i also had to drill
the holes for the panel that goes behind the door pull. but as was
stated the second one should be easier. another piece of advice is to
wait until you are done to start drinking as i am sure the panel will
look better
