Hey guys,
In this video lm showing you how to change over a door on a Holden VY.
Been ages since l did a video so this one is pretty ordinary to say the least. Im pretty sure l have covered it all (excluding anything to do with changing the quarter panel over) so any questions feel free to message or leave a comment below.
Have fun guys and be safe when attempting any car modifications or repairs. If your not confident in doing it yourself or its something that needs someone in the know how take it to your closet professional for them to fix for you.
Well hope you all like video and will come back for more when l get around to uploading them.
If you want to subscribe you can if you want to, if you have any things you want me to tape and put up just leave a comment below or email me even if l have done something wrong of if you guys know there is a better way of doing it get in contact with me.
Well thanks everyone for watching and l hope you enjoy :)

Here's a tip. A few days before doing the job, give the hinges a good dose of WD40 etc. It makes the job a lot easier.I used the same tool off Ebay as Ben. $39 - It's perfect for the job.

@CaptRoverman 3 года назад

Thats actually pretty smart thinking. l didnt have too much fun getting the pins out but this would have helped heaps l reckon.

@dipstar8178 4 года назад

Was doin the same thing by myself today was a bit of a struggle but got there I had that same bloody hinge pin tool n the bloody head Snaped off on the second pin.. It was the third Time iv used it so as u said for the price on ebay it made life so much easier...

Great video, I'll be changing all four doors on my VT... hopefully without ANY damage (fingers crossed) Do you have a video on removing the guards? Or is it pretty straight forward?

@CaptRoverman 3 года назад

I dont have a video on removing the guards but it was pretty straight forward. I did have a few issues with the 2 bolts l think it was that were located behind the front part of the lower skirt but l was able to get to them. I will have a look over the weekend and knock something

@ianr02 3 года назад

Thanks for this - someone on one site suggested removing the front mudguard (oh no...) to take the front door pins out. I've just bought the same tool but does the large fixed head of the remover ;pin go at the opposite end of the flared end of the actual pin itself? Thanks.

@CaptRoverman 3 года назад

Hey Mate, I put the fixed end to the opposite end of the flared end of the pin. I cant remember my reasoning for this, whether it was because someone told me to do it that what but all l can think of is because potentially l felt maybe that as thats the end l am going to be hitting with the hammer downwards l didnt want any more pressure put on the thread end (which l am going to assume tho however that the pressures would prob be the same). Let me know how you go, easy stuff this changing the door over so lm glad this has hopefully help you out :)

Hey mate I have a related question. I have a 1998 VT Wagon and the drivers side door is now super stiff at each open angle and it makes an almighty crack sound at each stage of opening position. I’ve added grease and lithium grease to all pins and hinges and even sprayed it down inside where that middle bar is. It seems like the middle bar is the culprit. Any ideas on what I can try, I replaced the electric window there a while back so I can take off the plastic door panel if needed. Cheers matey, love your work. Deano

@CaptRoverman 2 года назад

Hi Deano, that middle bar in the doors can be a right pain sometimes. What l would suggest is undo the 2 screws that connect the middle it into the frame of the car (not the 2 screws that go into the door itself). push the middle bar all the way in (as like it would be if the door was closed) and see if the door still makes the crack sound when you close the door. There is also a small chance that the pins in the door might be stuffed as well and you might be hearing that maybe. let us know how you go with it.

@watenehovell2891 4 года назад

Hey bud abit of a while since this video was uploaded but I need to replace the motor in the door any ideas on how to remove motor

@CaptRoverman 4 года назад

Watene Hovell hey mate, let me get back to you on this one. I kept the motor out of mine when l changed the door over so l will have a look and see if l can figure something out for you :)

@jaseastroboy9240 4 года назад

Probably too late now but rather than getting the window tinted and risk it not being exactly the same as the others. Could you just swap the glass from the old door into the new door?

@CaptRoverman 4 года назад

l still have the bit of glass in the garage but l had a hell of a time taken it out of the old door lol much the same as the door lock/handle had a hell of a time taking the old one out and still havent changed them over but l have been told the door lock/handle is super easy to do (which makes me think l got know idea why l had a hell of a time trying to remove the thing lol)

@sallykoep 3 года назад

@@CaptRoverman Installing a new window in a VY sedan is a pain in the a*se. Removing it wouldn't be fun either, but someone saved me the trouble by smashing it. It would be easier to tint the window that's already there.

@cubic-ghost-5868 2 года назад

Just a quick question because I have brought a new door for my car can you get the pins out without the tool

@CaptRoverman 2 года назад

To be totally honest, l'm sure you could get the pin out with a similar size bolt but however you may run the risk of getting it all stuck in there. I have heard of people just using a bolt that fits through the guts of it and just a slightly big head or nut on them to pull it through

@aidanhall5063 4 года назад

Hey man, my locks on my vy commodore aren't working so i cant lock my car, what would you recommend me do?

@CaptRoverman 4 года назад

Aidan Hall is this happening when you try and lock it with the key? The buttons or both?

@falscherbruce5522 2 года назад

Drivers door or all doors? The door handles body wear out where the lock barrel fits in after 20 years. Another possibility is that wiring harness to the door that gets bent every time you open/close doors. Wires break, so you can get dead loudspeaker or mirror as well.

@Senkino5o 3 года назад

Easily the worst hinge design on a car door I've ever seen, most of 'em just unbolt with a 10mm socket.

@619deceiver Год назад

does your ignition key work to open the door?

@CaptRoverman Год назад

What l did was removed the door lock from the old door and put it in the new door however my ignition barrel died not long ago so l had to replace that so l have separate keys for both now anyway as didnt want to pay the $$$ to get the matching barrel for the ignition

@Oskyboy88 8 месяцев назад

Do you have a video of changing the door lock?

@ChasingDragons420 11 месяцев назад

Is this the same for the VE?

@CaptRoverman 11 месяцев назад

Hey mate, Im not 100% sure but l believe the process is different. In the link below l have found some pictures (in-particular step 5 & 6) which shows different door hinges (I would have thought they were the same but apparently not). By the looks of it the hinge unbolts from the door side (not the vehicle frame) but again not 100% on this process. www.autoinstruct.com.au/manufacturer/holden/ve-commodore/door-sill-trim-removal/ Please feel free to share what you find out, l have a friend who l think still has a VE so l will suss it out too on my end when l see him next.
