Trying to harvest and swap over a set of door panels, door pulls and external handle.
That means I need to disassemble everything taking care not to tear the inner panel. I have the three screws off the bottom of the pull. I took the single allen head bolt off the top of the door pull where it attaches towards the top of the door. I've carefully removed the plastic push pins on the perimeter of the door card but there is something still holding it in place. What am I missing? Picture from Pelican showing the three screws I removed. (IMG:https://cdn4.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/914_right_mirror/914_right_mirror_pic5_big.JPG) Thanks! |

Slide the bottom cover forward (I think) and off. There are concealed fasteners.

Ha!
Fortunately no hammers were required in this process either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |

Got it The instructions on pelican said to pull it towards the rear of the car, in my case I needed to move the bottom towards the front to release it. Once I figure that out everything him out easily. Picture provided for community reference in case this comes up in a search. Thanks! You only have to remove the front hex head screw below the arm rest, and the one at the top of the handle. The other two just attach to the door pad. |
