#1: Help with changing parts on door Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 4:50 am ---- My car has 2 mahoosive dents in the door and i got a qoute of £80 to get repaired which i thought was fair, but i thought id also try ebay for a door and i managed to come across one in my colour for £45 but bare
So what ill have to do is transfer my window, c/l mechanism with window mechanism, door handle and locking barrel to the new door
Is all of this easy to do? Is it a good option to do as its alot more cheaper then a respray and plus i could get it done asap
Also Callum206 is in the same situation so any help would help us both, thanks

The window i wouldn't have thought wouldn't be difficult, just make sure you get it on the window rail.
Personally if i was you i'd try and find a door that comes complete, then it's a straight swop and no messing around

Take off the door card
Wind the window down until you can get access to the white/yellow clip(s) at the bottom holding the window in place
Remove window seal at the bottom part of the window
Push on the clips securing the window with a screwdriver or something until they pop off the window (be careful doing this, otherwise bye bye window!)
Pull the window out by rotating it 90 degrees as you lift up.
Re-fitting is the reverse.....

You can just replace those and the window will fit right in with all the mecahnism. All the rest is really simple bolt on parts
