It is pretty easy, but care must be taken so as to not damage the door panel. I recommend purchasing a door panel clip removal tool for this purpose. They are available at most parts retailers for just a few dollars. Using these tools to relaese the plastic clips on the door panel can save you a lot of aggravation and expense.

> Remove the triangular-shaped cover that covers the inside portion of the door mirror mountings. It simply "un-clips".

> Remove the screw that retains the bezel over the indide door release handle and remove the bezel.

Remove the two scres retaining the door panel to the door frame. One is under the triangle cover behind the mirror that you removed, and the other goes straight down into the pocket of the door pull.

Then use the special door clip release tool (recommended) or another suitable tool to pop the clips loose around the perimeter of the door panel. Lift out and up to remove door panel.

Installation is the reverse order.

SOURCE: 2000 Hyundai Elantra, door glass of front driver side is not coming up

Most likely the window regulator cables got tangled. That happened on 3 of my windows, but the motor should be fine they usually last quite a while. Electronics are good, but the mechanical part sucks. There are 2 cables one pulls the window up while the other cable winds onto a pulley. The pulley has channels in it that the cables sometime jump out of and get derailed. Replacing the window reg can cost 50 if you're lucky to 100 at Autozone or checker, that doesn't include labor. You can do it yourself, but it's a pain in the ****. Give yourself around 3 hours to do it because you will spend a while getting the window threshold or whatever the hell it is that seals it back into place. Use WD-40 to lube it so that it will slide onto the window. You'll know what I mean if you do it yourself. At the dealer plan on 300 to get it done.

SOURCE: how do i remove rear drivers side door panel in

Most door panels are just cliped in but you do have some screws. stars, if you start at upper right and to the right your first one is in the door pull or opener area, then there is one inside the light at the edge of panel. (if this is appacable). pull up and away from door slowly to make sure that all screws have been removed and that you do not pull apart any wires.

SOURCE: how to replace interior door latch on elantra?

Remove any and all screws from the door panel, including removing lock and window controls. then take a large flat-tipped screwdriver and pry off the panel all the way around. FInally lift panel up and off the door. Now you will have access to the inside of the door. Everything from here is self explainable.

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited V6 why the key remote want lock the left front driver door?

You may need to replace the power lock actuator motors inside the door . Alternatively, you can try disassembling the paneling on the left side under the steering wheel and removing two black relays on the side closest to the steering wheel. Then remove the relay covers and clean the contacts with a 1/8 fine strip of 600 wet/dry sandpaper.

What is approx. cost to have dealer replace driver side window switch on 2001 Hyundai Elantra? If I try it myself, any suggestions about popping the door panel? Thanks.

Removing a door panel is fairly easy. You need to remove around 10 screws from the door panel. each screw has a small plastic cover over it, that can be easily removed by a small flathead screwdriver. After all of the screws are removed, you have to pop the door panel off, and unclip all of the wires.
!!GOOD LUCK!! hope this helps
