Let me tell you a door story. My 2011 came with too stiff a gas strut, so it sprung the hinges on my door. Took it to the dealer figuring they'd just replace the hinges. Wrong ... the door comes as a unit ... frame and all. After removing the frame screws, the service tech pryed around the perimeter of the door frame using no material for backup. When I went to pick up the fiver, I had about two dozen little "tick" marks in the gell coat all around the door. A body shop ended up fixing that fiasco. They also failed to order new graphics as the door does not come with them. No graphics on any two campers is in exactly the same place thus new decals need to be ordered. The new door lock tumbler wouldn't work very well, so after several repair efforts, I just had them put my old latch on the new door. Perhaps your door will be different, but mine had hinges pop riveted to the door and frame with hinge pins that didn't seem to easily be driven out, but pressed in 1/2 of the hinge. If you do end up replacing the entire door ... be sure to back up between the pry bar and siding with thin plywood or something. It takes a bit to overcome the weatherstrip sealing the door to the outside wall once the screws are removed.
