    1) Unscrew the pop up locking button
    2) Prise out the two plastic bungs in the arm rest handle, and undo the two long screws inside. Rotate the handle upwards through 90 degrees to release a catch at the front
    3) Click out the plastic trim round the door opener. I think models may vary - you may need to pull the knob off.
    4) Click the plastic strip off the window winder. One end springs, the other hooks over, but I can't remember which. Go carefully - it is easy to break it. Then undo the screw and pull the knob off the splines.
    5)Use a wide thin screwdriver inserted between the cardboard panel and the door frame to gently pop out each stud fastening all the way round. They are about every 4 inches. Once you have lifted the card a bit, you will see where the next one is. Get the screwdriver as close as possible before twisting it. Some of them are bound to pull out of the card - glue them back later with epoxy.
    5) Swing the door liner out from the bottom, and lift it upwards - it hooks just on the window cill. At this point, pull the wires off the speaker.

    I think that's everything. I may have forgotten smething, but it's pretty straightforward. Just go carefully on the plastic clips.

    Reassembly is the reverse, as they say. You need to get the plastic stud poppers accurately aligned with their holes , then work round giving each a sharp thump to spring it back in. Start at the top after hooking over the cill. Don't forget the pop up button, or the speaker wires.

      Before installing the trim panel, make a new water shield. Use a plastic film, heavier is better, and use the remains of the old one as a pattern. Hold the shield onto the door with double-sided tape.

      While you are in the door, use spray silicone lube on everything. Especially the linkage on the outside door handle. I even use it in the window tracks.

      Look into the bottom of the door inside. There is a piece of sound deadener glued to the inner surface of the outside of the door, and over the years the glue fails and the piece falls down. Discard it, and clean out the bottom.

      The door has weep holes at each end of that bottom, and its important that rain water which leaks in around the ends of the outside scraper molding have a way to drain on out and not stay in there and make rust.

      Good Luck,

      Bob
