Next weekend I hope to begin my audio project. It will involve speakers, cables, amp, and massive sound deadening. All the door access panels will be sealed in the process. They can be opened again down the road, but there will be a fair bit more work involved.

**What have you had to replace in your door panels or rear hatch?**

Replacing parts that are prone to wear out will be much easier while the doors are apart, and prior to sealing. I am thinking that common parts to wear out would be best replaced now. She sits with 201k miles on her now.

 

There are small plastic clips that hold the relay rods in the door handles, they tend to wear out. Power window motors and regulators. And the plastic clips that retain the door panel can break when removing.
