It is not necessary to remove the power window controls from the door
panel. The wiring harness can be unclipped when detaching the lock and
doorhandle rods.
Thanks for the video, it saved me a lot of time.
@rubioo93 Thanks for the comment. The wheels were like that when I bought
it a year ago. Sadly, the individual that painted them, painted over the
wheel weights, so it looks a little rough on a couple of the rims.
Although, blacking out rims looks good on some cars, for me I like the
factory aluminum look, this spring I am thinking of re-painting them. But,
thank you for the kind words. If you are interested, you can use duplicolor
to paint your rims, and I hear rustoleum wheel paint works well.
Mine is a 2001 Club Cab. The rear section is a huge piece. It looks like
the screws are hidden better, maybe under the door sill, and where are the
back ones? There are clips where it’s upholstered. Does anyone have any
tips?
my 2000 dakota had a bad connection on the speaker followed your info and
fixed it myself saved $ and me going to the car audio store to have it
fixed thanks a bunch
@mwb2112 Thanks for watching and for the comment! Yes, the rear panels are
just the same, in fact I found them a bit easier considering there are a
total of four screws holding it to the door, and then you just lift up and
out, and the panel comes off. Have fun with the speakers, and check out my
speaker video and look in the comments for the wire colors…they are for a
2001 model with non-infinity system.
@jag1870 Thank you! I am glad the video helped, and you liked it. This is
the main reason I make my videos! Once you get one panel off and know how
it works, taking the others off is a 10 minute job! Thanks for watching and
for the comment!
@TheTexasCoder ok i will video it. i tried taking it off yesterday and the
only problem was that door handle latch. it wouldn’t pop off. i didn’t want
to break it so i just put the door back on. i will make a video soon and
send you the link
Great Video! I have the do the same thing on my 2000 Quad Cab to change a
blown speaker. The problem is that the blown speaker is on the driver’s
side which has the power control for the power windows (the knob is on the
top by the driver’s side power window). Is there a certain way to take that
off? does is come off before you take the door off or after?
I ordered a set of new speakers for my 2001 Dakota. The instructions they
sent me about how to remove the door panel was severely lacking (even
though it was suppose to be specific to the Dakota). Without this video I
would have had a lot of frustration. Thanks for putting this how-to
together!!!
@USCboy1 The principle should be the same. I believe it will use the same
“hooks” to secure it to the door. The only real difference will likely be
where the screws/bolts are located. I cannot say for sure, but from what I
have seen of my buddy’s 2006 Dakota, it should be pretty close. If you take
a panel of a 2007, get some video if you can, I would love to see it.
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@pacosaurus Thank you for commenting! I am glad the video helped, I was in
the same boat before doing this video, and thought to myself…I need to
video this so others won’t fight their door panels. I am glad the video
helped, and I hope those new speakers sound awesome! Thanks again for
watching and commenting!

If you have The infinity tweeters you must disconnect them to get your door
panel off also. Great video though, helped me a ton!
Thank you for that! I am glad the video helped, thanks again for watching

Great video, I watch it to get my door panel off so I could finesse the
sheet metal after my wife backed in to my truck. Keep up the great work

@IndianaFr0g Thank you! I tried to get the best angles I could for the
video, it was not easy with one hand! 🙂

videos for the Durango showed different door panels. Thanks for the help!!!
Also, does anyone know how to remove the rear seats out of a 2001 dodge
Dakota quad cab??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Good job, Thanks!
