Door card removal
Discussion
I thought both those jobs were OK,,, aaaahhh, when I pulled mine the engine had been out only a few years before so everything was already cracked off,,,
The door cards,, been on my mind since day one? I always knew I'd have to do it one day and always bottled attempting it,,
Now it seems my window motor has siezed,,, removal and possible replacement of motor?
One job at a time, I'm sure I'll work it out,, I think I've found the cause of window motor issue, the rubber section that runs along the inner length of the door, at the bottom,, it's been stuck on to low compared to the offside and it pinches and closes up the water weep holes,,,, car got caught out in the rain tother day, sure enough, I pulled the rubber away and water gushing out, so possibly the doors been filing with water!

The problem I had on the passenger side was that one nut touched against the window motor body. I had to loosen its mounting bolts to allow room for the nut to come off. Like mine, the threads may well be rusty which can clean up once the card is off but you may find it hard to get the nuts off at the end of the stud.
I managed to do them without dropping the ring spanner too. I did that on the driver's side, a lot, and I'm left handed!
A pack of 10 x M6 wingnuts are less than £2 on ebay. 4 for each side plus a couple to drop! A bit more if you want stainless steel.
