8Position the crane with the lifting arm
diagonally over the centre of the cargo area,
and attach the cradle. Carefully lift the cargo
area from the chassis. Note that the lip of the
cargo area rear panel fits over the rear chassis
crossmember, therefore the cargo area must
be pulled rearwards as it is removed to
disengage it from the crossmember.
Refitting
9Refitting is a reversal of removal, but ensure
that the insulators are in place between the
cargo area and the chassis. Before finally
tightening the securing bolts, adjust the
position of the cargo area to give an equal
clearance on both sides of the vehicle
between the cab rear panel and the cargo

5On the side of the vehicle from which the
rear lamp has been removed, remove the two
screws securing the tailboard hinge to the
cargo area.
6Close the tailboard and lever out the hinge.
7Pull the free end of the tailboard away from
the cargo area, and carefully prise the
remaining end from its hinge. Withdraw the
tailboard from the vehicle.
8If required, the pivot bushes can be
removed from the tailboard for renewal.
Refitting
9Refitting is a reversal of removal.
Removal
1With the exception of the cab rear window
on P100 models, all fixed glass panels are
direct glazed to the body using a special
adhesive. Special tools are required to
remove the old glass and to fit the new glass,
therefore the work is best entrusted to a
dealer or replacement glass specialist.
2The cab rear window on P100 models can
be removed as follows, although it is
advisable to entrust the work to a specialist.
3Remove the six Torx bolts and nut/washer
assemblies, and withdraw the safety grille
from the rear of the cab.
4Prise out one end of the trim insert from the
window rubber, then pull out the remainder of
the trim.
5With the aid of an assistant, carefully push
the glass and rubber into the passenger
compartment.
6Remove all traces of old sealer from the
glass, rubber and cab aperture.
Refitting
7Commence refitting by pushing the window
rubber into the aperture, ensuring that the trim
panel and body panel engage in their
respective grooves in the rubber.
8Working from outside the cab, enter the
bottom edge of the glass into the rubber, and
hold the glass against the rubber while an
assistant working from inside the passenger
compartment pushes the rubber over the
glass.
9The trim insert must now be refitted to the
rubber, preferably using a suitable windscreen
trim insert tool. If no special tool is available,
the trim can be refitted by prising open the
rubber lips and pressing the trim into its
groove, although this is likely to prove difficult
and time consuming.
10Refit the safety grille to the rear of the cab
on completion.
Removal
1Remove the rear pillar interior trim panel.
2Remove the two screws securing the
window catch to the body (see illustration).
3Prise the two screw covers from the hinges.

channel is visible through the lower door
aperture. Prise the regulator arms from the
sockets in the support channel, then lower the
window to the bottom of the door.
6Carefully prise the weatherstrip from the
rear edge of the window aperture, then tilt the
window forwards and lift it outwards through
the aperture.
7Refitting is a reversal of removal, but
position the rear window channel extension
screw to allow approximately 5.0 mm (0.2 in)
fore and aft movement of the window. Check
to ensure that the window does not tip as it is
raised, and that the regulator effort is

flap and housing, as during removal, then
push the flap hinge legs into the housing.
6Further refitting is a reversal of removal,
ensuring that the housing gasket and retaining
tangs are correctly located.
Removal
1Open both the front and rear doors to
expose the relevant weatherstrip.
2Carefully pull the weatherstrip from the
base of the front pillar, taking care to release
the flap which is stuck to the pillar with
adhesive.
3Pull the remainder of the weatherstrip from
its flange.
4Carefully clean the old adhesive from the
base of the front pillar using methylated
spirits.
Refitting
5Commence refitting by pushing the
weatherstrip onto its flange at the top corner
of the rear pillar, running it for approximately
200 mm (8.0 in) along the horizontal flange.
6Align the flap on the front pillar, and apply a
thin bead of rubber-based adhesive to the
flap. Refit the flap to the front pillar, ensuring
that it lies naturally. Should the flap not lie
naturally, or start to lift, temporarily secure it in
position with adhesive tape.
7Refit the remainder of the weatherstrip,
starting at the front pillar and working
rearwards, then close the doors and allow the
adhesive to dry for at least an hour.

7Remove the four screws on each side and
the two screws at the front securing the
sliding roof assembly to the roof tray.
8Lift the front rail and carefully withdraw the
assembly forwards from the roof tray, taking
care not to damage the paintwork.
9Refitting is a reversal of removal, but on
completion, adjust the sunroof as described in
paragraph 10 onwards, and if necessary
adjust the position of the roof operating
handle so that with the roof in its closed
position, the handle can fold into its recess.
Adjustment
10Fully open and close the sliding roof, then
check that the front edge of the glass panel is
flush with, or a maximum of 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
below the adjacent roof panel. The rear edge
of the glass panel should be flush with, or amaximum of 2.0 mm (0.08 in) above the
adjacent roof panel.
11If adjustment is necessary, remove the
three screws securing the glass panel to the
lower frame, then slide the lower frame
rearwards into the roof.
12To adjust the front edge of the glass
panel, loosen the front and centre screws
securing the glass panel to the sliding gear.
13To adjust the rear edge of the glass panel,
loosen the rear and centre screws securing
the glass panel to the sliding gear (see
illustration 39.1).
14On completion of adjustment, tighten the
glass panel-to-sliding gear securing screws.
15Pull the lower frame forwards and secure
it to the glass panel with the three screws.
Tighten the screws in the order shown.
1The method of removal and refitting for
most interior trim panels is self-explanatory.
The panels are fixed in place either by screws,
which may be concealed by plastic blanking
plugs in some cases, or by clips on the rear of
the panel.
2When removing a panel secured by clips,
prise the panel as close as possible to each
clip, using a forked tool similar to that shown
(see illustration, 17.6b) or a wide-bladed
screwdriver to prevent damage to the panel.
