Note: The door can be removed as a complete unit (together with the. equipment). It is more convenient to disassemble and assemble the door when it is installed on the car. This reduces the risk of damaging the paintwork.
An assistant will be needed to complete the job.
Removal
1. Remove the window regulator (see "Window lifter - removal and installation").
2. Remove the glass from the door (see "Door glass - removal and installation").
3. Remove the outer door handle (see "External door handle - removal and installation").
4. Remove the door lock (see "Door lock - removal and installation").
5. Unscrew the wiring harness fastening nut and disconnect the wiring harness connector from the door wiring harness connector.
6. Release the three fasteners and remove the wiring harness connector from the door opening.
7. Disconnect the wiring harness from the inner door panel and remove the harness through the hole in the door.
8. Remove the door stop (see above, "Door opening limiter - removal and installation").
9. While the assistant holds the door, use a 13 mm open-end wrench (on car parts TORX T40) we turn out the axis of the lower hinge.
10. Using the same key, unscrew the upper hinge axis and remove the door.
Installation
After covering the working surfaces of the hinges and axles with plastic grease, we install and assemble the door in the reverse order.
To ensure reliable contact in the door wiring harness connector block, we treat its terminals with a special cleaning and protection agent for electrical contacts.
