um... yeah, i guess when you can get the cc out within 10 minutes, it makes a LOT of sense to wait 3-5 days.

Lmao depending on what type of car he has it can be complicated.

He can also end up breaking off some of the fasteners in the door panel.
Why bother with it when you can just get a replacement with a simple phone call

nope. almost all doors are that easy.

riggght.

??? don't "riiiight" me, dumbass. it's true. they're designed that way in case the window breaks. you have to open the door panel and clean out the inside of the door in order and replace the window. they don't put a ton of electrical stuff on the way or anything... they bundle it up and keep the wires neat and close to the hinge.

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

taking off the door panel is really easy. look online or check in a toyota forum on how to take the door trim off.

To the people who say the OP should call the cc company and not deal with the door, have you ever actually took off a door panel? I did it in my car (2003 Ford ZX2) and it took all of 15 minutes to do. It took an extra 5 minutes because I have a manual window and I had to take the crank off.

Edit: spelling.

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.

lmao listen fvcker. It may not be that difficult to take off the door panel, but it certainly isn't a 10min job as you claim it to be it's atleast a 30 min job maybe more for the average person.

It's not just about removing screws, but you do realize there are a bunch of fasteners (which is the biggest pain in the ass) and what not. Also cars door levers are placed and connected in such a way, it's a pain in the ass to work on them, when taking them off and on.

So don't come in this thread calling me a dumbass.

Just because you might be driving some piece of ****** that may fall apart removing a couple screws, doesn't mean other cars are that way. Some of the new cars are much more complicated than that.

Have a nice one.

and I'll do one better for you.
I have not only seen cars get worked on, I work on my own cars

Easier said than done... I did try getting the door panel of my car once and failed... I am not a expert at cars but have done a fair amount of work on my car (oil changes, transmision fluid change, changed the radiator, thermostat, starter and alternator)

Or probably wasn't my day....

It's not easy to take off just by removing screws is because there are multiple fasteners in place. You have to take them out in a certain way or you'll end up breaking them if you put some force to it.

everyone who is saying taking off a door panel is risky and could ruin stuff has just never done it and is scared to do stuff themselves. I've taken the door panel off of like 3 different types of cars. it's all generally the same idea. you find the screws you need to unscrew and unscrew them then take the panel off, peel back the plastic crap and voila, you are inside the car door.

Basic Instructions Here.

BTW..those are instructions for replacing the door handle on a 1993 Camry. The new one may have more trim to work around to find the screws. Just be sure that where it says not to worry about cracking the trim and doing the extra crap....actually worry. :p You want to be careful not to damage anything since you're not replacing anything.
