Its not worth opening up the door panel to get a card out, when you can have a new one in like 3-5 days

Yea I would do that. There is probably tons of wiring and stuff in there, not like older cars were made. You could mess it up and blow up the side airbag in your face/

if you don't know what you're talking about, please don't post

Take it to a reputable body shop, they'll just pop the panel off grab the card, throw the panel back on and charge you less than $20 without an appointment.

have you ever even seen a car get worked on before?

Just because you've worked on one car doesn't mean they're all the same. :roll: Not all doors are easy to work on.

Definately depends on the door, on some doors you'll break a clip or 2 easy.

I've taken off door panels a couple of times to install speakers or fix the window, but for something like this I would just call the cc company.

Not all fasteners are the same. Some of them are really hard to get off without breaking, since they're always in weird places and made of flimsy plastic.

Taking a door panel off on a car that you've never worked on before, without making any scratches in it or breaking any clips, isn't all *that* easy.

I will reserve judgement until I find out if the sister is hot.
So, is she hot?

Remember the other day when you were asking me what IRONY meant?

Siser?

I'm free! Free! I claim this mouth in the name of Incisor.
Bicuspid: I think not.
Incisor: Bicuspid! We meet again.
Bicuspid: Have at you!
Incisor: En garde!
Bicuspid: Well, shall we bite the tongue, then?
Incisor: On three. One, two...
Stewie: Aaahhh!!!

No doubt, where's the pics? Unless she's like 5, then we don't want em.

I would expect it to be rather easy considering the speed the workers put the door together on the door line. The clips may be tight but considering Toyota's push force requirements I doubt they'll be too bad.

And there is no airbag in the door. Side curtain airbag is above the door, and those clips are rather hard to get out at least on the '07 models.

Things you will need:

1. a screwdriver
2. a drill
3. a blast shield
4. a lighter
5. a stick of dynamite

Drill a hole in the door, stick the dynamite inside and light it! hurray new mp3 player!

Make sure your sister signs up for this forum so we can find out how you mangled the door.

I was in a rental car on my first day of a 3 day trip to TN. Getting my first tank of fuel, the card fell into the emergency brake lever housing, between the handle and the little whiskers THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THINGS FROM FALLING IN! This was a Nissan Altima with the center e-brake.

Ugh...
