Introduction

Door panel clips play a vital role in securing the interior panels to the door frames, ensuring that both the aesthetic and functional aspects are maintained. Over time, however, these clips can be worn down or damaged, causing the panel to come loose or rattle during a drive. If these instances are happening to you, use this guide to replace the clips in your 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The panels offer an aesthetic appeal to a car, often harboring the lock and window buttons for inside usage. When the panels are not secure, they can decrease the appeal and cause issues when trying to enter or leave the car.

Before using this guide, inspect the door and panel for any big chunks of debris that can easily be removed. Also, check for loose screws, as they can cause the panel to be loose from the frame.

Step 4 requires you to use pliers to remove any leftover clips stuck within the frame. From there, proceed with caution as pliers can cause minor cuts if not held properly.

Before beginning, make sure that you are not parked within major traffic areas or in the rain, as the connectors may shock you if wet. Also, be sure to part somewhere with good lighting, as some parts need a close, well-lit look.
