Rear Door card removal by Ed3



Ed3
On a recently acquired facelift CDTi saloon the rear passenger side door window regulator has failed. But after taking out the screw in the handle that opens the door (from the inside), I cant see what other screws hold the door card on?

There are no others it's just a case of using a trim removal tool round the edges, to pop the plastic clips, then hold the middle of the door and pull outwards and upwards in the same movement the door card should come off.

As said with the emphasis on upward ;) when refitting there is a clip retained on the door that needs to be removed with long nose pliers and refitted to the door card before refitting.
Welcome to all who have managed to migrate ;)

Thanks Dave and Steve. Getting to know quirks makes it so much easier and faster. This afternoon I just successfully changed and got working the windscreen washer pump by removing one screw from the wheel arch and bending the liner back. Good thing I have parts to hand. This Rover 75 was advertised as done only 86k miles with lots spent on it but it obviously lacks the kind of DIY TLC that forum members know.
