Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the inside door panel, the upper inside door panel, on this 1996 Ford F150. It is a pretty easy procedure. You'll need a T20 Torx driver, a Phillips screwdriver, and either a door panel clip tool or a household putty knife to pry the door panel away from the door.

You want to remove the window crank handle. On these Fords, sometimes you can see the screw here. On this particular one, you pull this part of it out, and then, move it off to the side. This one needs a T20 Torx driver. Remove the mounting screw. Pull the handle off.

Now, you'll want to remove two Phillips screws, one right up here, and one right in the door pull there. I'll just fast forward here as I use the Phillips screwdriver to remove those two screws. Once you have those out, you'll want to take the door panel clip tool, and put it right in behind here. There's a clip right behind this reflector. Slide it up a little further. Then from here, continue around and release all the clips. If you don't have one of those door panel clip tools, you can actually use a household putty knife. It will work as well.

Take your door handle, pull your door handle out and get the panel on there. Push the front in here, pull the back up and on. Make sure you get the door lock knob through. Lift up and then go back. Push it towards the window, slide it down on. Then your clips should be pretty much lined up. You've got to, kind of, peak in the back here. Then put your two screws back in. Now, your washer for your handle goes back on. Put the crank back on. Use a T20 Torx driver. I'll speed it up here, as I put that screw in and then tighten it up snug. You don't want to make it too tight. You're all set.
