Hi, I'm Mike Green.
I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto.
I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle.
I'm going to use my 20+ years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to
show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com.
The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money.
Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and install a door panel in this
2006 Ford F-150, same as any '04 to '08.
You might need to do this to access your door handle or window or anything else that might
be broken.
You'll need a selection of smaller millimeter or metric sockets, ratchet and extension,
some standards can substitute, small flat blade screwdriver, putty knife and a rag to
protect your paint.
To remove your door panel, you're going to start down here, 6 mm, and remove two screws.
Then you're going to move up and a little putty knife or a screwdriver and a rag and
you're going to carefully pull off your speaker cover.
You're going to remove your speakers.
You may also have a tweeter up here.
I believe these are 7/32's.
Then obviously unplug the speaker.
There's a little rubber grommet that you'd use a pair of pliers and gently remove these
clips, two of them.
Again, with the putty knife.
There's a button this end, push and this button here, push and unplug.
There's a 10 mm bolt.
Now using a small screwdriver, right in behind the door handle, you'll see a little slot.
Insert your screwdriver and pry out just a little bit and you'll remove a little door
exposing two bolts.
The two bolts right here, either 8 mm or 5/16 will work.
Here, use your putty knife or your screwdriver and a rag and insert it between the black
bezel and the door panel and gently pry.
It is clipped in and it will unclip in the front.
The handle out like that and then it all comes forward.
Then take this panel off, stick your handle through- you don't want to drop it too hard.
Your panel is off.
Before you put your door panel on, one thing to check is this little clip here.
On our truck, it had separated and hit had kind of relaxed down.
It didn't pinch onto the door anymore.
We actually put a piece of tape up in behind there just to hold it in place.
Then once we put the bolt in and tighten it up, it'll function just the same as before.
Now we're going to reinstall the panel.
What you want to do is get it up next to the door.
Make sure you pull your door handle cable through and both of your power windows, power
door locks and your speaker wires, make sure they're not caught up.
Then you push the panel to the door and then push down at the same time to get all those
hooks clipped into the door.
Put this bolt in since we think it could be a problem.
10 mm bolt.
Put the lower clips to the speaker back in.
Look for the rubber insulator.
This only has the base radio, so it's just this speaker.
You might have to put in your tweeter as well.
Connect it.
Put it in place.
One screw to hold it.
Test it to make sure you're getting sound out of it.
These little bolts are 7/32's.
They don't need to be too tight, just about hand tight.
Speaker cover back on.
Put our windows and door locks back on and the door handle.
Now the door handle can be put back on even before you put everything together.
Make sure that seems to be working right.
Push it back in without my finger in there.
Put these on.
These are 8 mm, also 5/16 will work.
Put the trim plate back in.
Put in these 6 mm bolts.
They're just going into plastic clips, so you want to be careful not to over-tighten.
Last, but not least- There you go.
We hope this helps you out.
