Will an 2003 SE's driver door fit my 01 ssie?

Post by Black$$IE18 »

I have a nasty dent in my driver side door I would love to get fixed. I asked at a collision repair shop for an estimate on the repair cost of the dent. They guy came up with 200$. Can I get an SE driver door for a fraction what the repair would be. i know I would have to put on the ssie trim and also paint. Would it fit right?

Yes. The door will fit just fine, you will have to swap in your wiring harness and door module though.

200 bucks to repair it sounds like a good price to me,

you may find you will pay more for the ssei trim and paint.

If I already have the trim I can use it right? I can get a door for 50 at the pick and pull. I can get it painted by a friend with a gun I find that easier. But thanks a lot its forsure one of my next projects.

Yes you can remove your original trim and use it on the donor door, it is held on with two sided tape.
