2G My passenger door

[TuJay]

Anyone know of a video or thread that shows how to replace the entire door? I was replacing the door handle and both bolts holding it in snapped and one of the bolts brackets that held the bolt to the handle to the door. The only thing keeping it on now is gorilla glue and a push rod.

Replacing the door is easy. There are some bolts on the hinge and then a little pin that holds the pushrod. Disassemble these and it'll come right off. Careful though...its like 75 lbs or something. Use a engine hoist if you can or some creative jack work. You'll prolly need 2 peeps to do it easily. The electrical connector just unplugs too.

Thank god. the part I was worried about was the wiring harness

since you have a spyder, make sure and get a door that is also off a spyder. the convertibles have a different door harness and plug because your rear windows roll down.

I used two jack stands on both ends of the door, disconnect the wire harness connector, tap the pin out from underneath, unbolt the 5 hinge bolts 12mm.

When removing the doors, I put the window down, shut the door, disconnect the wire harness plug, remove the 5 bolts bolting the hinges to the frame, then open the door. This way, you're not struggling to hold the door steady while unbolting everything.

I'm in the same boat. I have to remove the door. My door was sagging bad and found out when loosening the bolts that the threaded inserts were rusted out on the bottom hinge. I cannot rebolt the door back on the way it is. I have a couple of ideas that I may try, such as welding some nuts in place or simply welding the hinge directly onto the frame. My question is, does the harness pry right out or is there some kind of key that must be undone?
