The Ford Taurus is known for its durability and long-lasting performance. Because of its long life span, the Taurus might begin to break down on the interior before the exterior. The first step to replace a door panel is to remove it. Nearly any home mechanic can quickly and easily remove the door panel from a Ford Taurus.
Slide the flat-head screwdriver under the edge of the trim surrounding the perimeter of the door jam. Pop the trim from its mounting holes, and pull it off the door.
