Drivers Door Card
Drivers Door Card
Trying to remove the drivers door card to change the handle carrier - following the guide on this forum. I have removed the 4 Torx screws, un-popped the base and sides but I cannot un-hook it from the top edge despite considerable force being applied. What an I doing wrong?
Re: Drivers Door Card
Sorted by trial an error (apologies if already covered somewhere on this forum) - key points:-
1. unlike most other vehicles I have owned, the top of the door card does not hook over the top of the door but is simply pushed onto a row of metal clips - I found it easiest to cautiously 'tear' them apart starting from the opening side of the door
2. once all the clips are disengaged all round the door, the card is still held by a plastic keyway fixed to the metal inner skin of the door - which in turn engages with a cut-out on the metal plate fixed to the inside of the door card. To release this fastening and free the card, you need to gently wiggle the card upwards (without tilting from vertical !) by about 25 mm
