Me collecting my kit from Extreme!!








Day 3 - More Stripdown

Firstly, remove the seat belt securing nut. to do this
just pull off the adjuster handle with a tug....

This reveals the screw that secures the plastic cover

Plastic cover removed, the seat belt can now be
unbolted

Now remove the adjuster slider metal by removing the 2
bolts.

This now reveals the 2 bolts that hold the rear quarter
window on...

Remove these using a magnet to catch them, after this,
the windows just comes off when the catch is removed





Door cards next..Remove this bolt

Then pull off the door handle surround

Remove this plug....

then remove this bolt...

and this one, then "pop" the door card off, then remove
the inner rain shield from the door

You need to remove this bolt to remove the outer door
trim, this then reveals a hole so that you can now
remove the two glass rear securing bolts, after that
remove the two glass front securing bolts from inside
the door, you can now remove the glass.

Then remove the passenger handle, coat hooks, interior
lights and then the sun visors. A big tip, the two
connectors on the left are for the visors, if you
unplug these you will then be able to remove the sun
visors without cutting the wires like I did :-(

Then remove the headlining....
I also then removed all the wiring and wire securing
clips from the A pillars and the roof.

Thought I would just hang the door on like everyone does!! :-)


Thats it for today......
