Help with removing door cards
Discussion
Just had a search around and found mention of 3 nuts and 3 screws holding the door card in. (I need to take it off to fix a window that's no longer going up and down even though the motor is wirring away as it should).
All I could see just now were 2 nuts at the very bottom of the door/door card recessed slightly. I'm going to sort this out tommorow but wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of any others I need to take off.
thanks
PS it's a 1999 model 500 if that helps.

go in through the speaker hole. all three nuts are along the bottom at similar level, first one is forward of the speaker, 2nd about 6inch back from speaker and the third si about 3/4 of the way back (almost armpit length).
dont forget the screw behind the reflector and the screw behind the ashtray.

To help next time they need to come off, suggest that you replace the three washers with large "penny washers" (with a small hole in the centre) and replace the nuts with wing nuts that you can tighten by hand.
Mine have been on and off a few times (sorting the windows). With the above I can remove and refit the drivers side in under 5 minutes.
The first time I took them off, I read the bible and put a day a side to try and sort both doors.
My car has spent most of its life at the factory and when I went to the first door, the penny washers and wing nuts were already fitted. Made a huge difference!
And yes you will need to go up to your elbow for the rear one!
