2 Answers
The method to remove the door panel of a Sylphy is as follows: 1. Remove the control panel with wiring harness; 2. Unscrew the screws securing the door trim panel; 3. Remove the small decorative panel on the inner door trim; 4. Pry from the edge between the door panel and inner door trim to separate them; 5. Remove the screws at the bottom of the door, use a screwdriver to pry open a gap, pull outward with your hand, then lift the door panel upward to remove it. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and trunk capacity 510L.
When I previously removed the door panel of a Nissan Sylphy, I found it necessary to prepare a plastic pry bar and a Phillips screwdriver. First, inspect the door handle area—there's a hidden screw inside the small storage compartment that needs to be removed with the screwdriver. Under the door handle cover, there are also clips; gently pry the edges with the pry bar to release them. Then, work along the lower edge of the door panel, prying open each clip one by one until you hear a click, indicating it's released. Once all clips are loosened, support the door panel with both hands and lift it upward to disengage the top hooks. At this point, be especially careful with the wiring harness inside—avoid pulling forcefully. Locate the window switch connector, press the clip, and then unplug it. Finally, use a socket wrench to remove the securing screw at the bottom of the door panel to completely detach it. Throughout the process, handle everything gently, as the clips are prone to breaking. It's advisable to keep a few new clips on hand for replacement.
