Removal of interior Door panels.

[BobK]

Hi,

Not being particularly mechanical I thought i'd seek your assistance before removing the interior door panels to my Cerbie. I've got one window that doesn't open when the car is unlocked (drivers side) but does open by the internal control and one window that rattles like bu**ery in the passenger door which I presume requires some sort of repacking.

I know that there's a number of screws to remove etc but are there any wires to be wary of, needing to be disconnected etc so as to allow complete access?

Any info greatly appreciated.

There are about 6 allen headed screws around the door edge, then a few electrical connections to undo at the base of the door. They're all different, so you can't get them mixed up.

First time I did it, took me about 10 minutes, now I can get the panel off, clean a dirty connector and get is back on again in aboue 5......

The window will be rattling because its fallen out of one of the rubber channels.

I realigned mine the other week, bit of a bugger but do-able - you'll see how its done when you get the panel off. Try and get some silicone grease first to lube the channels.

Well Bob you can loosen the bolts that hold the glass to the winding mech and slide it from front to back to get it centralised correctly.

Also there is a small amount of play in the bolts the hold the runners. I found, after plenty of winding window up and down, that one of the runners needed to be shimmed away from the door a little, I did this by putting a washer between the runner and the frame it bolts to.

It was trial and horror, but in the end the window stays in its runner and closes properly too.

As I said, its one of those things thats difficult to explain but easy to see once you look.
