Door Card (Door Panel)
The door card is the interior trim panel on the inside of each door, carrying the handle, armrest, switches and speakers.
What is Door Card (Door Panel)?
It is held on by clips and screws. A plastic membrane behind it keeps water out of the cabin. It must be removed to replace window regulators or locks. Door cards can also hold door speakers, which may rattle if their mounting clips are loose.
How it works
A moulded panel is clipped to the inner door frame and covers its mechanisms.
Why it matters for your car
Clips break easily; use proper trim tools. A damaged membrane can let water into the door card and carpet.
