Paint, hinges, electronics, and what body shops look for.
Same generation matters
Doors from the same model year range usually interchange, but mid-cycle refreshes change wiring and mirror mounts.
Paint and trim
Used doors rarely match paint perfectly. Body shops blend or repaint. Verify trim level — power mirrors, speakers, and modules differ.
Electronics and keys
Modern doors include window motors, locks, and wiring harnesses. Confirm whether you need the door shell only or the full assembly.
Inspection tips
Check hinge points, water leaks, and frame damage. A cheap door with structural bend costs more to fix than a Grade A unit.
