Remove and reinstall a rear door panel on a 1998–2003 Dodge Durango, preserving the latch cables and switch wiring connections.

Steps

1. Remove the panel screws

   Take off the molding strip, then remove the screws at the rear corner, door pull, inner handle, and lower edge. Keep the screws grouped so each returns to its original location.

2. Lift the panel away

   Raise the door panel from the door and unplug the window switch harness. Disconnect the latch cables from the handle before setting the panel aside.

3. Reconnect the panel

   Reconnect the latch cables and window switch, then lift the panel into position. Align its retaining clips and press them into the door.

4. Install fasteners and test

   Reinstall the screws at the handle, pull, lower edge, and rear corner, then replace the molding. Test the window and latch and check that the panel is secure.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
