    Does anyone know how to replace the front passenger door. Not the panel but the actual door.

    that looks like a big job, you might want to consult the service manual. i have to think more is bent than the door.

    Door bolts on at the hinges... There's also some wires you need to unplug. Very simple to remove...

    Great I just order a whole new door and if it’s only hinges and wires seems pretty straight forward. But will have to change the door panel

    As long as the “A” and “B” are not sprung, the door is pretty straight forward to change. The wiring at the door flex requires a little disassembly of some of the kick panels for access to the electrical connectors.

    Your info says 2nd gen, but this is in fact 3rd gen? Do you have collision insurance?

    There could well be more to it; a simple door swap might not be all you need. A competent body shop will check the hinges, frame and so on. Also they can repaint using seamless blending technique.

    Yeah I’d second that, suspect a less tightly cropped pic would reveal “collateral damage”, the front fender end (what little shows) appears to be a little impacted, and the door frame, hinges??
