2. Install the panel in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- If the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.

- Make sure the connectors are plugged in properly.

- Push the clips into place securely.

- Make sure the window and the power door lock operate properly.

- When reinstalling the door panel, make sure the plastic cover is installed properly and sealed around its outside perimeter to seal out water.
