Passenger left door swap

Hi,

If I recall, 2006 through 2013 are the same. Please inspect to confirm it is the same. However, I feel it should work.

_____________________________________

Here are directions for replacing the hinges. I'm adding them in case you need directions for removal. If you remove the hinges, the door is off the vehicle. Please note that the door is heavy. Make sure you support it when removing.

Removal Procedure

Note: In order to minimize door realignment, do not remove both door hinges at the same time. Do each door hinge separately, and replace the broken door hinge first.
