  Q: What is the step-by-step procedure for reassembling the front door and Exterior Door Handle on Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A:

  Begin assembling the front door by installing its two cushions as the first step. The right procedure for LH side installation should be used again for front door outside moulding sub-assembly installation. Apply the TORX socket wrench T30 to fasten the front door outside handle frame through the screw while maintaining 7.0 Nm (71 kgf-cm, 62 in-lbf) torque then place a cover between the nut and door panel. The installation of front door outside handle front pad requires engagement of the 3 claws followed by engagement of the 2 claws for rear pad installation. The front door outside handle installation requires pushing the handle according to provided instructions before completing the assembly. Secondly install the front Door Lock followed by securing two claws for installing the front door outside handle cover using a "Torx" socket wrench T30 at a torque of 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). Maintain the door lock key cylinder rod insertion before completing with a hole plug. Apply MP grease to all sliding and rotating parts of the front door window regulator before using 6 bolts at 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf) torque while insisting on precise mounting of the regulator. Connect the connector before installing the front door glass onto the window regulator using 2 bolts at 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf) torque strength and place the hole plug. The first task requires installing the front door window frame rear lower by securing its bolt preliminarily before attaching the front door lower frame bracket garnish using a bolt with two screws at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) tightness. Secure the installed front door frame sub-assembly front lower through its screw while also fastening the bolt loosely. Use the bolt to install the front door glass run while tightening the front door window frame rear lower and the front door frame sub-assembly front lower to the indicated 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) torque. Finally, install the hole plug. First install the front door Weather Strip and put MP grease on the sliding areas of the door check before mounting it onto the door panel with 2 nuts at 5.5 Nm torque (56 kgf-cm / 49 in-lbf). Use adhesive on the bolt threads to fix the front door check onto the body panel while tightening it to 30 Nm (306 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf). After securing the front door inside panel plate with 4 screws the worker must apply butyl tape to the door panel and install the new front door service hole cover while checking the seal quality for wrinkles or folds. The installation of front No. 1 speakers is followed by mounting the front door glass outer Weather Strip assembly just like the LH side procedures. Install the outer rear view mirror following the same procedure from the left-hand side and put on the front No. 2 door service hole cover with 4 screws. The front door trim board sub-assembly requires users to connect both the front door lock remote control cable and front door inside locking cable before engaging 10 clips and installing and securing the trim board with two screws. Complete the 2 cover operations on the LH side and follow this same procedure for the RH side. Introduce the driver side power window regulator master switch assembly followed by the front passenger side power window regulator switch assembly together with the door control switch for the front passenger side. The cable needs to be attached to the negative battery terminal while applying torque of 3.9 Nm which equals 40 kgf-cm and 35 in-lbf.
