The cheat's way to replace door cards

[MissMoppet]

Having wasted over an hour in trying to replace the driver's door card - I was trying to change the actuator but have failed in that one - can't unclip the linkage - I trawled the Forum and came across Unclefista's post here.


All the other posts I've ever read say work from the top, carefully angle the card, line it up, make sure the pop-up button is threaded through. Well every time I did it the wretched button disengaged, to disappear behind and below the internal door workings. After a dozen attempts I gave up and found the above post which in essence says forget about the top, line up the central clips, bash it hard and the top edge will spring into place, all by itself. It does. Hallelullia and Unclefista if you're still around, well done. You've saved me at least one heart attack.
