Upgrading your audio system, repairing the window mechanism or just replacing it, the door panel of a 2005 Toyota Tundra can be removed with just some basic tools and minimum experience.
All you need is a Phillips screwdriver, a flat one too and a prying tool. Here are the steps:
Pry open the triangular trimming at the top, near the mirror
Use the prying tool again to remove the trim containing buttons on the armrest, as well as a plastic cap just under the armrest
Remove the screw from the hole you uncovered
There are a few other caps like that on the sides of the door panel so you need to pop them out too and remove the screws
Move to the door handle and using a flathead screwdriver open another cap that is located just in the middle of the door handle’s trim piece
Remove the screw and pry the trim to take it out
Start prying the door panel from its bottom
After its loose, disconnect the light wires at the bottom and pull the whole panel upwards to remove it.
