Outside. I've taken the door card off already. Now finding it difficult to workout where the bolts are to take it off.
Thanks Conaero. How did you get at the nut which sits behind the window glass?Did one last week and it’s an absolute twatt of a job
Door card off
Remove the glass
lower the mechanism
turn the battery off
remove the three door catch screws and let it hang
the handle is held on by 3x8mm nuts that rust solid
the difficult one is accessed through a hole in the sheet metal, the other two by going in by the large cutout
disconnect the 2 rods to the handle, the nylon heads rotate to release
mask around the handle to protect the paint
commence wiggling and swearing
the end by the door edge you have to force the mech through, it’s not a refined exit as the stud won’t release from its hole and inhibits movement, I bent it away in the end then it came out. I did this by putting a prybar through the outside down the side of the handle and pushing it away to release.
Took the glass out. I’ll amend my guideThanks Conaero. How did you get at the nut which sits behind the window glass?
That's what I thought you would say. Is the glass simple to remove and reinstall? I also thought a long off set 8mm ring spanner would do the trick which of course I don't possess!Took the glass out. I’ll amend my guide
turn the battery off, it only takes a lean against a microswitch and the scissor can guillotine your fingers
Thanks a lot for your help I'll give that a go.Window is the easy bit yes.
10 or 13mm each side where it goes through the glass clamps, pull the clamps off.
Pull it up and out the top
Just in case where is your workshop? ThanksIf you get stuck run it down to our workshop, obs on a dry day and I’ll get it out for you if your having trouble
Ok Great.Southampton
