Well the old one broke so I picked up a new one from Malloy today. Its not just the top door but the entire box unit. I havent started to tear the door down but it does look like I will have to remove the front of the door to remove and install the new one . If you guys have replaced yours any suggestions to make the install go easy ? Thanks

There is a special tool you can buy, buy a simple flatbar, doubled up rag (to save the paint) and some constant pressure, should keep from damaging the clips.

u know which store for the specialty tool, or does snap-on make one as they seem to do with EVERYTHING else...?

i need to replace the same part for my car...... cuz i lost the cover.... and i pulled on it once, and the tthing broke

well look out the box cost over 100 bucks . If you can find just the door , it would be cheaper. I did break one clip, and used a body shop tool to pull them loose .But its worth it, my elbow rest on the box when I am in traffic and it been driving me nuts when the door kept falling off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

i dont care if i just get the door, and superglue it shut

my entire panel is good and working properly, but the door box is fading and has a small 1" crack in it.
