hi all.. got a my92 that needs the door replacing, anyone got any instructions on how to remove it, gonna attempt it on the weekend so some advice would help. thanks in advance,
DM.

 

give it a kick

 

four bolts on the hinge to a post... mark around the hinge with a pencil or similar.. and it may help you align it after... if it doesnt then you havent lost anything... Youll need a 12mm socket or spanner... get someone to hold it otherwise youll pull the wing off..

DW - roughly how much tolerance is there for alignment of the door?

(before I spend time taking mine apart and don't get it put back together any better than it is now apart from the dent )

It's only a couple of mm out, just enough to annoy!

 

Don't forget to disconnect and pull back the wiring for the 'lecy windows and speakers

So you'll need to take the trim panel off first!!
Pull the wiring clear of the door then it's just the 4 bolts and it comes off in your hand!!!! It is quite heavy if your doing it by yourself.

Last time I did it, it was Pi$$ing down and I had to drive it down the road to my lock up with no door on!!
Doesn't beat the looks I got after dropping my bonnet off at a mates though!!

depends where on the hinge your adjusting... theres enough... otherwise its bruteforce.

Thanks. I think an exploritory dismantle is in order shortly.

 

thanks for the replies, gonna try next weekend, getting the door sprayed sometime this week.
