My son and I are replacing a electronic mirror today, we need the door panel off for the job, this video is so helpful!
Hi Scotty. Could you do another video for car doors with power windows and locks?
A little trick to remove the winder pin if you don't have a pick or are worried about damaging the trim. Use a thin cloth (say a dish cloth) and slide it in behind the winder. Pulling the cloth from both sides up while wiggling and it will grab the edges of the pin and dislodge it.
Great videos Scotty.
lol scotty you're awesome, loved the intro
How many times the video posted is about the problem you have in your car and the demo is exactly the same car model. It just happened. Thank you Scotty, the speaker sounds fine now. -j
Love it! Perfect video on repairing parts that are almost certain to fail once or twice in the life of a car. Question: Are you always succesful in removing the panels with out breaking any of the hidden anchor clips? If so, what's you tip when pulling on the panel to remove it? I usually lose one when doing this myself.
Very helpful! My window got stuck fully down and slipped off its cog so had to give it a helping hand, this video was perfect, not same model of car but same premise.
@theviruskiller91 they sell panels at dealers for a small fortune, or go to a junkyard for a used one. You could try backing it with thin particle board from a lumber yard if you're adventurous. Scotty
@roadbilly same process, then just unbolt the window regulator assembly AFTER unbolting the glass from the regulator. Scotty
@rabbaniabrar actually, auto window door panels are easier, cause there's no clip to feed out, as there is no window crank. The auto door window switches just snap in and out, then you unplug em to get the panel out. Scotty
@steeloable everyone screws up once in a while, I just erase the flash drive when I'm done. as for that bolt, try a 1/4 inch socket with one of those wiggling attachments to reach it. that's what I use. Scotty
@NYCwrighter It's common in cheaply made american doors. You have to drill the old rivets out, then you can put nuts and bolts in place when you put a new one in. they just want to save pennies making em cheaper. Scotty
I see the sticker on your bike. My grandpa was in 101st Airborne in the Vietnam Era. I've seen that sticker my whole life 💙
@bangkcivic Jack it up in the air and check the suspension parts for wear, especially the tie rod ends and the ball joints. Scotty
Goodness broe. Can you demonstrate on a contemporary car door panel?
yes, if you take it apart you can force the door to unlatch.
@Michiganborn1969 You could if you're lucky, but I was mainly using this video to show how to take a door panel off. Scotty
@xspartanX3x there are some hiding behind plastic pieces that snap off to reveal the screws. The rest are snaps that just snap out when you pry the panel. Scotty
Very nice thank you so much sir very nice video
@kzolly you start em with a screwdriver and pop one side, then pull the whole thing from the bottom. Scotty
@TophatOSx86 Yes, they can be stinkers to first pry off, you need to apply plenty of force at times. And realize that in many american cars, the tabs are so cheap they will break off and you will have to put new ones in. Scotty
Although I already knew everything shown in this video, it was fun to watch someone do it without scraping a knuckle and/or spewing out colorful expletives. Now if only I could figure out how to get this spring back in on my 2001 Chrysler Concorde LXi driver's side door handle mechanism! AAGGGHHHH!
Thanks Scotty...very precise, simple and to the point. My window rattles when I roll it up or down. I have a nissan sentra. I'm going to attempt to fix it on my day off. Your video helped a lot.
All I needed to hear was take out the screws and pull hard 🫡 at first I asked myself, does this require force? And my question was answered 😂
@pianistaclasico good luck on that, you have to cut small holes in the panels to access the latch and open it mechanically from the inside if you can't get the door open. Scotty
Thank you brother
@kzolly there is a little pry bar tool that u can buy, to get into, and behind the plastic clip, that holds the panel on, and use that, rather than pulling the panel off, by hand,it saves the clips, simple,
@romainechester next time I fix a window I will. Scotty
Wow! What a great lesson! At last I know how to remove a door knob from the panel by just removing a pin. Thank's so much Scotty!
In the old days you could go to an autowrecker and get simple parts from wrecks that would sit for years waiting to be parted out. Unfortunately with the rising price of scrap metal it is common now for wreckers to destroy cars more quickly, and so getting cheap replacement parts is more difficult. Prices have risen pretty fast for those used parts as well. I suspect that internet clearing sites have also given salvage yards more access to customers who are willing to pay more.
you either cut a hole in the panel to get to the latch, OR pay a locksmith as they can often get into it using a jimmy tool they hgave.
good video, scotty,
@MrAMAG15 you can try, but realize most inside is plastic and it's probably breaking. Scotty
@MrAMAG15 Then for sure it needs a new handle assembly, the plastic is breaking inside. Scotty
@TomsLastJoint you need a new power window regulator assembly. Scotty
@NYCwrighter wee usually drill out the tops of the rivet, only first, with the plug of the motor disconected, and key out of ign, for safety, then get proper size bit drill out 3, and save one, to get the size, of rivet ,from the auto shop, then replace motor , and re rivet, into place
Hi Scotty, recently my mom's camry power windows failed. But it works most of the time except when I trying to open it on an incline or after a shaking or bumpy ride. Its only the driver's side that shows this problem. Rest all windows are fine. Its the same camry recently you uploaded the video of replacing a broken ignition switch. Please suggest me what to do.
@scottykilmer Thanks! I'm the type who likes to tinker and try taking things apart. I've managed to bust up a cellphone and a laptop. :) But now I'm cautious and rather watch someone do it first and then try myself.
Also really admire that you take the time to reply to comments here. More power to you.
@Scotty - Thanks for the tip
@Liamautomechanic - Thanks for the info, I actually own one I purchased for use on an ol '72 Lincoln Mk IV. Now I need one for my '05 Jeep Lib'
And of course, none of this applies if you're working on a Cadillac. Be very careful where and how you pry on a Cadillac door. So glad I got rid of that thing, what a nightmare!
WOO this video helped!!! i got the panneling off so i can chnage the speakers sense i saw this videos thanks scotty your videos really do help :D
@genec2007 Use spray lithium grease, all auto parts stores sell them. Scotty
The clips can usually be bought in the "HELP!" section of most auto parts stores for about $3. Hope this helps anyone that breaks them. :)
@dezertboy20 that's the pain in the ass part. You have to snap it off backwards, and often that plastic crap will break doing that. But that's the only way to get it off. Scotty
hay scotty, this was good video but u should put automatic window door panel video as well. because manual is easy but auto is hard because it is more complex. thanks
Thats the PICK! Damn I waste my time and damage the door handle plastic, though that there is a SCREW in the middle that holds the handle! thanks to your VIDEO!!!
Another trick to remove the manual window winder clip is to use a rag edge between the door panel and winder in sort of a shoe shine motion. They will pop right out.
Thanks for the useful videos scotty! Very educational. How about one on brake pads? My car has 4 wheel disc brakes.
@scottykilmer thanks for responding, i use nitrile gloves but yours seem thicker
@sonicthehedgehogca I have two already on brake jobs, go to the scottykilmer channel on youtube, and on the main page, type in the search engine there "changing brake pads on your car" and you will get to those videos. Scotty
my honda civic requires me to pull the handle to lock the door when its open. i don't like that feature and want to make it like the other doors on the car. can it be done easily?
@donyboy73 Yes, they work great. I just bought two more cases, they're cheaper online. They are long cuffed microflex Safegrip gloves, been using em for decades. Scotty
@scottykilmer thanks scotty for the info.. it has nothing to do with the driveshaft right ?
will this noise be serious if left untreated? for example, in the middle of driving , will anything break off and cause accident ?
thanks scotty
How do you remove a worn/stripped screw head from the door's arm rest handle?
Hey Scotty I have electric doors. My question is how do I replace the lights from the door panel. Or is it a professional job that needs welding to replace the led lights or lights.
what brand of gloves do you use? they look nice and thick
@scottykilmer my 1994 Lincoln doesn't have any visible screws?.
dear scotty,
my honda civic 2001 has some noises when turn the steering wheel only when the car isnt moving..the noise does come when i steer while the car is moving..wats the problem?
Thanks, it was really useful!! My car can't be opened from the outside, I really have an emergency!!! My car is an Atlanta Derby 1995, are there any tips you can give to remove this car's front door panels and solve the problem?
Thanks Scotty! I have a bit of a problem though, I have a 96 camry and my door panels don't have the small bolt that goes in the door handle, and after I remove every other bolt that holds down the panel its still really stuck from the door handle area, as if there were a bolt that you have to take off from inside the panel. How do I remove the door handle assembly?
scotty what do you suggest for 1996 caprice,their door cards are so cheap and the snap breaks easily when you take them out or when you install them,i got a lot of these plastic snaps broken,and i yearly change the door handles front,the sun here cracks everything
best intro on youtube
Why is it always so easy for mechanics and so hard for me? 🤣🤣🤣
what do you do if the door pannel has an airbag in it will it deploy if you take the pannel off?
from what i seen online you have to check with the repair manual and find the fuse to disconnect so it will not deploy when you are working on it.
No you can take the panel off to reset you buttons
@scottykilmer I have a 95 Contour and have tried to lube the rear doors. when I close them they make a bad popping sound. wd40 and other spray lubes don't seem to work. what do you recommend that will stay and work?
I was wondering if it would have been easier once you have the door handle cover out to use an old coat hanger to fish out the actuator rod instead of having to go through all the trouble of removing the entire panel.
Might want to be a bit more gentle on those plastic pieces as you put them back on. They can break easily it they are not seated correctly before you whack it. Then you'll be paying to replace more stuff than originally intended! - anyways, great stuff as always.
Someone backed into the driver-side door of my car while it's parked and now i got a shallow but wide dent in my car. Best way to fix the dent? It affects body lines on the door as well. There's also a couple paint scratches here and there.
have you fixed the dent? if its wide enough use a plunger. or get a dent puller from autozone
Cheers
I can't get the arm rest screws out.
My passenager window on 99 explorer goes down really slow and tilts forward. How would I fix that?
Rips off all snaps
@FreeTalkLive I just swear off camera. Scotty
if if works, who cares? But they often get bent, they are on the end of a rod that can bend.
Dear how can I remove silicon from the body car without any damage or scars to the body color ???
@lowlow643 Yea, cheap American crap, that does happen to it. then you just get new snaps and live with cracks, no way out of that. I've got thirty year old toyotas that you can still take the doors apart without cracking (not that they break, but I do change radio speakers now and then.) Scotty
I have a Vauxhall Zafira 2007 1.6. After helping out a friend moving some heavy stuff my zafira's tailgate is not locking.
How do I remove panel and what to look for ?
they don't sell them animals in Texas, but any panel has to come off, generally a few screws OR internal snaps that just snap out
My car isn’t 100 years old so how do I take off a new car door panel
Ring that Bell!
dinggggggggggggg!
So much snapping 😂😂😂
first i would unscrew the broken lever + stick my hand in the panel grab the steel rod put it on the new lever and install it. i did that to my moms 98 corolla 3 minutes without having to take the panel off.
What about a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS sedan ?
same procedure
@pussytastegood1 Well, they're snap happy when they make those things, it's cheaper to make em that way. Scotty
@Joseph9536 And a Toyota is still better than whatever POS the domestic cars have in their cheap interiors.
snap snap snap
Joe Pesci?
