Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. 2011 Ford F150, going to show you how to remove and install the rear door panel.
Rear door panel: we're going to start by removing this panel back in here. Pull the handle out and put a 90 degree pick back inside. Get it locked in and pull. Now we're going to pull the panel off up here. There's two clips: one down here and one up here. Insert the tool and pry. This is the right tool to use. These red trim tools are available at 1aauto.com.
There are four bolts that hold the panel on. An eight millimeter bolt here, and three six millimeter bolts. We'll remove those, using a socket ratchet and extension. All right, your 90 degree pick again, you're going to pull this panel up right in the corner. Work it underneath, make sure you got a good bite and pull straight up. Then pull up and go to the front, same thing, straight up. Disconnect the switch by pressing the tab here.
Now the panel, lift up and come away. And small flat blade screwdriver, there are two tabs on the cable. Alright, once you release those two tabs, twist the cable around, and bring it up and out. To get this out of the door panel, what I like to do is twist it until the tabs are up and down. Then it's pretty easy to pry up and you lift up to release that back tab, and then you push down on the top tab and push it out.
All right, the door panel is back on. Just take your three clips at the bottom and kind of put the panel in place, and it just rests there. Then take the cable and put it into the handle. Just kind of want to be sideways. Make sure it's up and down. Twist it, pull, and then push the green clip back in place. Make sure this wire comes up through. Okay, probably the hardest part is just making sure that your door lock comes up through the hole. So push this into place and lift up. Kind of feel your door lock into place, and you push it against the door and slide it down. Make sure it's nice and tight against the door.
Okay, and now we can reinstall the four mounting bolts. Thread in the eight millimeter, and then thread in the three six millimeter. Okay, and now put your three trim panels back in place. Your window switch, make sure these clips are still in place. If they're stuck in the door, you can push them down through and recover them, and slip them back on to the bezel. Reconnect our switch and push it down in place. For this panel, the beveled edge goes to the back, put it in, and press it until it clicks. Then this top panel, curved edge goes on the top. Just make sure these clips are still on it, and they go right in the slots on the door. And you're all set.
