I want to have a go at adjusting my drop windows for better sealing and need to know how the door cards are removed, I presume they are just push fit/click connectors but wanted to check before I start pulling at them, can anyone confirm?, thanks, Lee

Open the door and look underneath, you will see 3 plastic caps.

Clip them off and you should see a hex head short coach screw behind each one. Remove these and then pull door card from bottom and it will come away.

The alu strip at the top remains in situ and there is a rubber sheet behind you will wave to remove that will need re-gluing once your done.

Cheers. Lee.

Be interested to see how you get on with this. Need to do my drivers door.

Thanks, I can see the plastic caps. I will try this weekend. The gap between the A-pillar and drivers window is quite big which means I'll probably move the window too far away from the back seal when I close it up. I found some door sealing strip which is 21 mm rather than the current 15mm so will buy some and see if that compensates, Lee.

Adjustments done, much better seal and more even window to A pillar gap, quite easy. Thanks for the information, Lee
