Hey @rebelman welcome to the forum! How far have you gotten, or what specific panel changes are you concerned about?

To remove the door panel is easy though. Three 10mm in total and pull at the bottom.

@19RamLimited says he figured it out, maybe he‘ll be along to help you out. Good luck!

thanks for the reply... i have gotten as far as removing the 3 bolts in the door panel and the window switch... panel still on as tight as a clam... dont want to break anything.

@19RamLimited... the bottom is on really tight..... i wont break any clips by pulling it? cause after removing the three 10mm and its still on pretty snug

I'm watching this one carefully. My door lock bezel is not seated and I've tried a million different ways and it wont push further into the door panel to sit flush. Dealer wants to replace the door panel.

I cant take credit for these. All the props goes to @ I love grits here on the forums. He has posted a lot of the factory service instructions good dude. Hopefully these might help. @ Jamesfg here on the forums has already pulled the door panels off to add ambient lighting to his rebel so he might be able to shine some light on your issue if you're still stuck as well. Hopefully you have some plastic trim removal tools, if not get some off of Amazon or even Harbor freight usually has a cheap set sitting the shelf.

I have taken my drivers door panel off it is tough to get the lower clips to release. I used a small flat prybar wraped it in masking tape and got the first clip to pop the others followed easily.

Are the clips metal or plastic?

Sorry it took so long, They are plastic a bit different than previous as I recall. They do snap back in well.

Ya I changed my mirrors today, those clips are a mother to pop off.

Smash the search button and you could'a sent me a message for help. I started a post in here containing removing the panel like 6 or 8 weeks ago.

 

[rebelman]

i agree!
i was able to change mine over the weekend. Once you pop one off the other come off easier as your confidence builds. Everything went smoothly except for me breaking one of those clips when reinserting the door panel back to the metal. oh well. I want to thank everyone for their input and help.

Now i have my set of tow mirrors from my 19 Rebel for sale... 250 shipped!

I'm trying to remove the door panel on a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT, but I can't locate the trim cover #2 (hiding the two bolts). Is the procedure different for my truck? Any help would be much appreciated - I'm trying to replace a busted driver side mirror.

It looks like you have the DS (old body style) Ram. Different Panel than the new DT platform.

Where you able to pop it back in? I have the same issue on my rear passenger door.

I know this is an old thread, however I just purchased a set of power folding mirrors for my Bighorn. Originally I had the standard mirrors so therefore it came with a standard window switch and bezel. The guy I purchased the mirrors from did not include the power window switch so I purchased one off eBay from a Mopar part seller. Once received I noticed that the space that the wiring harness fits into is different on the part that I received. Am I suppose to swap out the switch base from my older base and place it on to the power folding attachment or did I totally buy the wrong part? I know this is a lot, but please point me in the right direction. I have attached pics as well for viewing.

The attachment with the pins is the standard switch in which my wiring harness fits into.

The other is how I received the power folding switch.

Do you got pictures from the front side of the switch? Looks like the wrong part.

This is the one that I received in the mail to replace my standard switch.
