    Any DIY on to replace a door shell. Some asshole hit and run me and I don't have full coverage, plus I don't feel like dealing with my insurance company. But what tools would I need and how would take a part of the window regulator and stuff. Thanks in Advance

    The entire window and frame is bolted in, so doorpanel of, frame out and disconnect the wiring. Remove the shell and swap the lock.

    Not to hard

    its sort of a pain for the front doors cause the door harness doesn't unplug like the rear ones. so you have to fish the harness into the door and to its respective place. youll need some standard torx bits. something to cut zip ties and some screw drivers to bend the tabs to get the door handle/lock out. its not to bad but it is a pain in the ass. do not loose the shim on the lower part of the window frame. you should mark it before you take it apart or you'll have window frame gap problems. good luck man. be happy it wasn't much worse.
