Default Need Help with Doors!! JKU

Hey there,

I have a JKU and i've always been able to take the front doors off, but I have yet to figure out how to take the back ones off. Does anyone have any pointers or can someone link me a guide for taking them off? I've looked all over the internet and the manual but haven't found anything.

Any help is appreciated.

True, the only difference is the door loop (and wiring if you have it) is begins the snap panel on the b pillar

Sorry I should have been specific. The panels on both the left and right side where the cord connecting the doors goes into; how exactly does that come off? I've tried pulling a bit but that obviously didn't do anything. Are there some screws that one has to unscrew?

No screws. Just dig your fingernail into the top of it and rip it off. If I remember correctly that's what I did when I took my doors off last summer :p

yea the panel isnt held in by much, its just a pressure hold with plastic lip, it pops right off with a little tug, then release the red clip on the harness, unplug. Take the strap off the hook, and lift your door off. It might be kinda hard if you never have before as it has sat. but work it and it will come off (just remember the door pin nuts need to be off)

One end of the panel has a clip and the other has like a j hook. I think the top is the clip and bottom is hook. But yeah, what the others have said, pull it off and everything is behind that panel
