If you're talking about the interior pannels with carpet, it's easy. Hook the top part on (by the window sil) then line up the pannel and push it so that the plastic snaps hook in.

After that you put in the 2 screws, the door handle (4 screws), and window crank (for manual windows.)

Unless there's something I'm missing to make it hard, that's about it.

Just keep trying. I took me a while to get it back on right with all the screw holes lined up right.

hmm just changed my door panels last week and it was a simple deal

if your haven trouble finding the holes behind the carpet or panel u can use a ice pick or small screwdriver to find them and to line them up

try starting at the top drop the weatherstrip part into the slit on the door then go around the edges pressing the snaps into place then screw it in place make sure u use the washers on the carpet part of the panel then put on your armrest on a crank door i think u might have to put the armrest on before u put the panel all the way on
