Thanks for everyone's help. We just got back from lkq in Daytona with the new used rear passenger door. It was relatively easy to get off. It took longer to get the inside panel and the door wiring plug off.
Now to take off the existing dented door off and replace it with the lkq door. The existing door is dented in where it meets the fender kick panel. I figure its cheaper, ($65), to replace the door than have a body shop repair the dent.

Replacing rear driver side passenger door.

We found a door st a salvage yard for $75. Is it a difficult job to replace the door? I read your notes but I am not clear on the electrical.

You need to disconnect all of the electrical stuff inside the door. And the washer tube. Then pull them through the hole.

If it's the side door, it's the same as above. Unplug on the Body side. These cars, like most recent ones, are built with the doors off for access. Therefore, when the door arrives to the line, it is fully assembled. It just has to be hung properly, and the electricals should be in the B-pillar.
