Removing rear door cards
« on: 04 September 2009, 09:44 »
Can anyone explain to me how this is done please? Its my first time!

I need to try and get to the inside of the child lock mechanism (little black dial on door frame) as its permanently switched on at the moment.

Thanks

from memory.......

prise off grab handle cover and undo 2 x phillips screws

undo the screw (think they're torx) at the bottom of the door - 2/3 of them

then just pull off  :smiley:  you'll find the clips pop off but they are easy enough to put back in

Simples  :smiley:

All sorted!

It wasnt actually a problem with the child lock. It was actually the cable that is hooked onto the inside door handle. It was hooked on but the black bit of plastic that sits on runners to stretch out the cable fully had come of the runners.

Whoever is sitting in the back can now open the door themselves!!

Arr the satisfaction of fixing something yourself  :cool:
