DOOR PULL
To remove
These are retained by two screws, the removal of which frees them from their locations on the door.

TRIM PAD
To remove and refit

Remove interior door handles.
The trim pads are attached to the door panel by spring-in clips which are concealed.
Insert a broad-bladed knife or screwdriver, under the edges of the trim pad at any convenient point around its edges. Ease the trim pad away from the door panel, working progressively around the edges, and keeping the tool close to each clip as it is prised out. (Fig. 5)
Pull the trim pad downwards until the upper edge is clear of the retaining flange on the door at its upper edge. The pad is now free.

To refit
Enter the upper edge of the trim pad into the retaining flange and fit the spring clips on the trim pad into the holes around the door panel. Press the trim pad firmly home and refit interior handles.

WINDING WINDOW

To remove and refit (Fig. 6)

Remove interior handles and trim pad.
Replace window winding handle temporarily and lower window until the regulator guide channel (camplate) is visible through the aperture in the inner door panel.

Spring out the regulator operating arms from their locations.
Remove the door waist inner and outer seals by easing them down with a screwdriver.
Release the front and rear glass channels.

Turn the window and lift up and out through the aperture in the door.
When refitting, replace the door waist inner and outer seals first, but leave the rear ends free.
After replacing the window, fit the rear ends of the inner and outer seals.

FRONT SEAT
To remove
Slide the seat backwards to expose the forward retaining screws, and forwards for the rear screws. Upon removal of these the seat assembly is free to be removed from the car.
Refitting is a reversal of the above instructions.

REAR SEAT
