help... still can't get that door panel off
#1
hi

still can't get the inner handle removed.

there are two bolts. the left hand is easy.

the right is blocked by the inner door release bar (like thick coat hanger wire).

there must be an easier way surely. just can't get this panel off, and hence can't fix the elec window.
any tips!?? :evil: :evil: :oops: :oops: :x :?: Sad Sad

my door handle now works, but you need to push down about middle of the bottom of the glass to engage both sides.

Hi Steve,

It's been a few years since I did this on my car. Tell you what, how are you fixed on Saturday morning? I can nip over and lend a pair of hands for an hour or so :wink: Drop me an e-mail if you're around.

Did you try this steve ?

Rather than trying to remove the grab handle by the two set screws on the ends, carefully remove the escutchoen ( part 24 ) from the top of the arm rest and look down at the bracket (30) that holds the handle onto the door there are two set screws (33) which hold the whole assembly on , remove these and the handle/ bracket will come off

I think that's what Steve is doing. Steve, just flex the bar out of the way - you won't break anything
