I also had a problem with the centre doorcard clip, in the end as per Haynes pulled the rivets out but still can't remove the door mounted (!) spring steel part from the plastic, doorcard, part. See second thumbnail. Any suggestions?

I had ordered some plastic clips from Fleabay, see third thumbnail, what appears to be original (white), my purchase (red), another nearly right one (grey) and some tat NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-.

I reckon the red ones will work although a little shorter or should I order the white ones as the supplier had those as well, I think.

While I've got the doorcard off I'll be doing a search on making the central locking mechanism work!

Thanks for your patience.

The central clip should slide down with the door card removed, in situe the door card needs unclipping from around the perimeter and then firmly nudged upward to remove from the central clip.
