how hard is it to swap a door on an s14

[richie_55]

I have a giant dent in my passenger side door that looks terrible I have an extra door thats straight but has no panel, window or electrical its just bare metal frame, so I was wondering how hard and how long it would take to swap the glass and electrical out of my current door to the new door frame I got.. New to the forums any advice is greatly apprieated as I am only 18 with limited mechanial skill

With Lots of patience, and also careful with window regulator, it can due some slicing to ur hands.. Iv never replaced a door but i have replaced a regulator/motor and it can b tricky.

Im contomplating pulling the panel and trying to push it out (not a small dent, majority of door is caved in) why not and if that fails then we will try a new door haha

Yea give it a shot, personaly i hate bondo/pulling/sanding my end result is never satisfying to me -__-

Only a NASA certified engineer can replace a door.
You have to be very care full if you try it your self...

Its pretty straight forward, you take your bare door place it near or next to your existing door once you remove it, then start swapping things over. If you want, take pictures of the complete working door before you starting disassembling it so if you forget things you can use your pictures as reference. Just remember to change out the key cylinder so you can use your key to open the new door.

yeah seems pretty straight forward now that I removed the door panel to explored a little, I didnt even think about the locks thanks for the reply!!

Did this on my convertible, it was a 2 man job because the vert doors are so freaking heavy. I don't know about the s14 though.
