my door has a dent in it, in the event that it doesn't pull out how can i replace the door skin? i mean, the door is fine, but how can i replace the exterior door skin?

ive been told the front bumper and fenders are only bolted off and can be removed, so i can do that myself (anyone with more details such as remounting are welcome) but i haven't been able to find any info on replacing a door skin, i was told by a friend that a body shop has to weld a new one on and that simply replacing the whole door might be easier. any insight?

 

i'm not gonna be any help, but i need to know how to do it for a buddy's s-10 too...good luck finding out...

 

somebody has to know this....come on

 

The body shops are using glue to put them on now a days. they simply apply glue to pannel then slide new doorskin up from bottom being sure to tap bottom of the new skin onto the bottom of the old door and voila shes on.

have fun

How much does it cost for a body shop to do this? How does it look?

 

Isn't easier for a whole new door?

 

this one time my friend came to pick me up in his truck and as i opend the passenger door he started backing up to be a jack a$$ and as he back up before i got in the truck well right as i got in the door got hooked on a tree and was bent all the way around to the front fender.
lol he learned his lesson there is wasnt that hard to change doors just had to get the hinges back back into place.

to this day he hasnt doen that one again.:lala:

 

is there a guide anywhere on replacing an entire thirdgen door? my driver side needs to go.

 

Not sure if there's a guide or not. But it appears the fender will need to be removed to get to the door bolts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
