I've seen many videos on how to remove the rear door panel and have removed it successfully. I have struggling trying to put it back on. Does anyone have any tips or can share video on how to put it back on?
Thanks.
I saw this in youtube:
Of course, you have to reconnect the door open and window actuator cables to the door panel. Then:
There is a metal clip that is held on to the removed door panel at the top by 3 clips. Carefully remove this (with a small screwdriver you can pry the clips open). Then attach this clip to the DOOR side. Now you line up the pins on the door (that face down) and slide it down on the door. Then, clip the push-in pins that are around the outside of the door. Same applies to the front doors, too.
This made it much easier to attach, as the alignment is easy to see and accomplish this way.

I agree with SC400MAN. Putting the panel on the door again requires you to push the top portion of the panel down onto the metal frame of the door secured by the metal clips on the door panel. This must happen first or else you will not be able to secure the panel completely to the door.
Another sticking point are the plastic clips around the perimeter of the door panel. They may not line up with the receiving hole in the metal door frame initially. You must ensure those clips do line up before pushing the door panel's clips into the holes of the door.

100%
This is the part you need to remove from the pannel, install in the door and then install the pannel.
