went to install mine today and realized I'd been shipped 4 for the drivers side, rather than 2 of each side. Of course, I realized this after removing the passenger front door. Bad on me for not checking the parts when they arrived months ago. Good news is the driver's side F&R went in no problem and removing/replacing my passenger front door panel got rid of a rattle that had been bugging me for 2 years when the door was shut.

I was able to reuse the red stickers by lifting them with a small knife from the corner and peeling them off the old *****.

Congrats on the new mod. They really dress up the interior.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm about to tackle this mod tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Passnu2...I noticed that there is not a door liner removal DIY. What is involved in removing the door liner? I know there is a screw behind the plastic piece in the lock mechanism...any other screws? Thanks in advance.

Will be adding a full DIY with pics, for now any thread that requires removal of the door panels will help you out. We should have something in the next week to post for everyone. You need to removal the entire door panel not just the plastic cup were the door handle is located.
