Car Door Removal 

Holy cow in the first 28 seconds you managed to answer a question ive been searching for all day

The easiest way to remove a back door with one person is to open it , disconnect the door catch and wire harness, shut the door , open the front door so you can undo the bolts on the back door while it's CLOSED , after that everything should be undone so you can grab the door from one side and open the door while holding the handle and it won't fall If you're removing a front door I would suggest using a floor jack with a rag on it so you don't take any paint off the bottom of the door, undo the door catch, wire harness, the bottom 2 bolts and the very top bolt leaving the 2nd bolt from the top last , while you're undoing the very last bolt put a hand on the top of the door so it doesn't fall off If you're in a junkyard that doesn't allow jacks , take the fender off and undo everything like I said to do for the back door

Awesome video! Didn’t waste our time and straight to the point !

GREAT VIDEO!!! Looking to do this shortly & wasn't sure of the complexity - thx for taking the time to go step by step - God Bless!

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU. Omg you have no idea how many people I had to ask in order to get a solid answer. I have a 2003 Camry and I need to swap all 4 doors because they’re all rusted and broken. I looked up videos on how to remove a door and the person either cut the connector or unplugged it. I had no idea which I would have to do for my Camry and I couldn’t even reach the cable. Now that I know this older gen is just connected with a cable, I should be fine buying new doors. Thank you so much

Thank you for being so detailed in your instructions and straight to the point. Cheers mate

Thanks a lot. I will remove my door tomorrow

I have a 96 avalon and wanted to know how to do this . Thank you , now I’m more confident I can do it

Beautiful

If you change the driver car door do you have to switch over all the locks and the door handle?

@5:33 Sir, could you tell, what is an approximate weight of that door? I've heard it is about 40-45 lbs, but my husband thinks it is about 120 lbs. We have 2009 Nissan Sentra, the door looks the same. Thank you for you film again, so many details, like that inner socket disconnected from inside. I saw another film where one person was holding the door in his arms while the author was disconnecting that socket. Your way is much more convenient.

About long did this take you from start to finish? I'm removing all four doors off a 98 Camry, and I'm wondering how long it'll take me

thanks man

Thank you, son of Hugh Jackman - I appreciate the help.

Gotta 2004 chevy malibu would this be basically the same steps ??

Thank you very much for the video teaching us how to do the door change. It really worked for me to switch to my 2000 Camry's car door. Greetings from Tijuana Mexico, take care and stay safe.

Just made changing out my buddies Camry door so much easier . Appreciate this one !

I did not know it was that simple. Hell yeah. thanks for this video guys. You rock.

Let you know tomorrow if it works on 1993 mercy grand marquis I've got two same year type so it should work. Thanks

Instead of taking all the little panels inside to disconnect the plug, why don't you just pull out the rubber grommet hose from the outside and take the wire harnesses out from there?

Can this process work for the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry XLE models?

That is much easier than I would have expected!

Thanks for the video .. are those bolts really secure to hold the door?. Sometimes you need to grab the inside handle to support yourself to get off the car.. by giving pressure on the door .. will those bolts get lose? Or affect the alignment?

This also work's on toyota yaris 2007?

Are you guys restoring this car? If so, best of luck to you.

wow after seeing this im seriously considering getting the door (its the only place thats dented) and getting a macco paint job for it , should i do it? hmmm

1st gen Sequoia owner here, I can verify that this process is the same for me. Yall are life savers!

Awesome

So a 2001 rear door would fit a 2000 model?

Thank you bro , now i do it with confidence

holy crap its hugh jackman

Great camerawork!! Great info!! I'm going to do it EXACTLY like what you said. Thanks!! Great Vid!!

Glad I found this...if I can wriggle wire harnesses out ...im home free....but I want to lube power window tracks ....they seem dry from factory , shortens life and keeps cash coming in for certified mechanics and parts. I got original keys....dont really need to mess with locks Thanks for sharing ....save me major hassles .Im doing a Mitsubishi but they seem quite similar at glance .

Going to attempt to do this on a 2024 rav4 should be similar thanks guys...gonna solo it but will utilize some jacks to help lower and raise it and support

Awesome thanks guys Thanks Joe for holding the door

dang thats the xle version of the camry. wish I could score one on a junkyard trying to restore my great grandads camry.

What a great tutorial!

Joes the best😊

Is it possible to still install a door but it doesn’t have a connector, I found one but can the connector itself be replaced?

I’m getting ready to get a door tomorrow for my car, I’ll use this video to help me get it in

fucking mint i cant thaank you enough for this video simple informative amazing

I like how simple you made this!! Thank you! I do have a question and I hope it's not too dumb but I have a 96 Camry and I have to replace a couple of doors. The local pick a part has several 97s that I could patch together a whole new body with. My question is is that realistic or even possible?? All the cars are Japan make but only mine has a sliding sun roof.

Awesome, thanks guys. Ready to head to the U-Pull yard now!

Thank you

Hi, I'm trying to swap out my friends 2007 camry xle front passenger side door due to heavy rust below. Are the front door electrical connector same way pull and disconnect the click as the 1997 to 2001? Thanks

Thank you

Hugh Jackman and his friend are great Mechanics.

No use

7:48 yes, we've established that already Joe.

Thanks for this.

Will the extra door fit in the car or trunk?

Cheers for this video

Would this work for 2017 Toyota mirai

thanks! Sure made it easy (as can be) to change my dented Camry door! Thank you for such a straight forward video!

thank useful video amazing

LITERAL LIFESAVER. THANK YOU

Bro doing a service to society. Thanks man!

Awesome. It help me to pick the right tools to go to junk jard to get a door from corolla.

thanks for the HELP and INFO :)

Any idea if this would be similar in a 2014 corolla

Help! I am late coming to the party but hope it is not to late to ask you for help. Someone backed into the passenger side of my '10 Camry and crunched both doors. The front one will not open from the inside or outside. Outside handle feels loose but by removing the door panel, I can see the rod is still attached on both ends and both clips are in place. Using the fob, I can hear all locks both locking and unlocking except the front one. Both cables are also attached and can be worked back and forth. I can also move the lever the rod that connects to the actuator about an inch or so, but the door still will not open. No luck even with someone inside pushing the actuator arm down and someone working the outside handle. Toyota parts guys even pulled out a new one so I could see how the rod pushes down on the lever and moves the lever where the cable attaches. But you can see it actually move because that side is up against the inside metal panel. I am at the point of using a saw. (not really). When crushed, it was up high on both doors and directly on the handle area. Need some serious help. Have replacement doors ready to install but can't get the front one open to get to the tapered bolts holding the door on. The back one is ok. Suggestion from anyone very welcome. Also as an after thought, will the tapered door bolts self align the door or do they have to be re-aligned professionally? Sorry for the long post but ... Thanks, dm

Awesome tutorial guys

Thank you so much

Awesome thank you

Thank for showing us how to do this.

Thank y’all

Thanks 🙏

I have an 07 camry will the process be similar?

I managed to get the door open today. I think the handle had the rod/actuator lever in a bind. A lot of banging and prying bars and with screwdrivers worked enough that it popped open. Now a happy camper :) Thanks for your help. dm
