Door Card's removal.

[Ems]

Ok i've had a look at the old threads but can't find any info to help me.

I need to remove the door cards for spraying and i'm told the door panel pop's on and off! Well i can only get the bottom part to pop off!!! How do i take the top part off and do i need to take the window winders off to do this?.

Also, i want to spray the interior of the door black but what paint would i use as it's a fabric sort of plastic with a velvety grey strip?!!!!

Yeah you need to remove the window winder handle, but this could be a bit tricky, but you need to prise a little metal clip from the inside of the winder using some wire or something like that.

You can then just pop the doorcards off without any bother, just don't pull too hard or you could rip the popper out of the doorcard.

Yeah you need to take the door handle off. There is a clip which is very fiddly which if you pull the door handle away from the doorcard you will see. You need to put a screwdriver down the back and push the circular bit in to the door handle if that makes sense!!! You will understand what I mean when you see it hopefully. When you push it in the handle should pull off. Then just undo the poppers, release the door handle, take the screws out of the arm rest and pull the doorcards upwards to get them over the lip of the door. Hope this helps.

I've ripped doorcards in the scrappies before trying to take them off. The thing about some models is the foamy stuff is glued to the metal so when you peel it off, even slowly, it tears.

i use a pretty nice trick for taking the winder clip off...

use a legnth of thread and loop it over one side of the clip then just pull it off...

works a treat

Not those cheap aluminium ones off ebay i hope! lol - any pics of your progress? stick them on www.moddedmicras.co.uk/upload

I think a small screwdriver is the easiest way to get them off.

try and get a hook and slide it down the side of the winder.U will see a metal ring hook that and pull it straight up.watch though because the thing is spring loaded and can fly away and you dont want to lose it.

Lol, cheers mint, but this thread was posted in 2005!!!

I've just removed my door cards, once you can find the little gold coloured pin in the window winder and removed the lock cover, the handle, and pulled the cards off the clips they're easy.
