Buying a used door assembly: what to check

  1. Inspect bottom pinch welds for hidden rust: Check the lower inner door seam for bubbling paint, cracked seam sealer, or clogged drain holes that trap water.
  2. Confirm harness connector pin count: Verify the main pillar door plug matches your vehicle harness to support power folding mirrors, memory seats, and speaker channels.
  3. Verify glass tint color and motor operation: Test that the power window glides smoothly and that the factory glass tint matches your vehicle's remaining windows.
  4. Check hinge pin slop and check-strap mounts: Lift up on the rear door edge to detect worn hinge pins or cracked sheet metal around the check-strap anchor.
  5. Transfer original door lock cylinders: Swap over your original key tumbler during installation to retain physical key access during dead-battery emergencies.
