New (to me) door. Tips on replacing my old one? 200 1993

Hi Cauley,

I've never replaced a door, but I've replaced hinges.

A few things I (think) I can tell you. Obviously, you'll have to remove the fiber door panel (let us know if you've never done that) then you'll have to disconnect any speaker or door lock wiring and push it back into the accordion boot between the doors.

I'd use a floor jack to support the outgoing door as well as the incoming door. I would suggest that you leave the old hinges attached at the B pillar, remove the old door at the hinges, and replace.

Again, use the floor jack to support the doors cause they are very heavy.

I suspect it's not a terribly difficult job, but please let us all know what (trouble?) you get into with the job.
