    Toyota stopped applying those stickers, at least on my 2015.

    When the door skin is applied, the door will be repainted and the sticker therefore may be removed as part of the door painting prep.

    i have never had anyone check the door stickers on a trade in or private sale. all they do at the dealer is a blackbook lookup, a quick test drive and a lowball offer. often no test drive.

    When I was at a recycling facility a couple weeks ago in Rancho Cordova, a guy wanted a driverside door. Cost: $750. I thought it was a little extreme but if it means you don't have to swap anything partswise, it might actually be a good deal. This place had a grey one IIRC. Now repainting that door, might be better to have the one you have repaired.
