Hey all. I got my rear door panel off, but the "backing plate" plastic piece is stuck on. I took all the perimeter bolts off, but the window and regulator are attached to the backside of the plastic. I rolled the window down and it gave it some wiggle room, but I couldn't figure out how to get this thing apart. Anybody know how to take it all out? I need to access the door lock motor.
^sorry not talking about the actual door panel, but the plastic "backing panel" or whatever it's called once you get the door panel off. I got the door panel off.
OH its held on with plastic tabs if memory serves. When I got my truck tinted I had to take the doors apart myself. Tint guy (not Sunray in DFW) wanted no part in removing the door panels on a 2 week old 35k+ truck.
I had to remove the panels because a good tint shop will tint the glass all the way PAST the point where the glass contacts the door panel. This eliminates peeling from the bottom as the door panel isnt always rubbing the edge of the tint.:smileup: The only way to do that is to remove the panel, at least partially. I went ahead and removed them all the way.
I'd like to know this as well! I never did figure out how to get the damn thing out. It was a real PIA trying to get broken glass out of the bottom of the door.
^Thank you! Exactly what I needed. I'll give it another shot this weekend and see how it goes. I'm driving from Orlando to TN and then to Arkansas and back in less than a month and would love to have my door lock working by then...
Yea I was going to say the same thing. They fold the rubber strip down into the door, tint below the seal line, then 3-4 days later pull the rubber back up and over the tint. No need to take the door appart.
