Door belt weatherseal moulding
Removal
12Remove the exterior mirror, as described
in Section 18 then, using a screwdriver,
carefully prise up the moulding and remove it
(see illustration) . Do not bend or kink the
moulding, as this will permanently deform it.

13 To refit, align the moulding to its rearward
location (latch end of the door), then carefully
tap it into position by hand.
14 Refit the mirror as described in Sec-
tion 18.

1
Removal
1 To remove, pull the weatherstrip off the
door aperture flange, starting with one end of
the joint and working around to the other end.
Refitting
2 To refit, roughly align the weatherstrip joint
so that it lies in the centre of the bottom (sill
panel) flange.
3 Loop the weatherstrip into the corners of
the door aperture (see illustration).
4 With all the corners roughly in position,
work around the aperture from one end of the
weatherstrip, pressing the seal fully home. Ensure that it follows the contours of the
corners without wrinkling, and that it sits over
any interior trim edgings.
5
Seal the weatherstrip joint with a little
caulking compound applied to the body
flange, to prevent water entering by capillary
action.
6 Check that the door closes properly,
without excessive effort being required. If the
door requires excessive effort to close,
the door striker plate may be adjusted as
necessary.

1
Removal

line, break the adhesive bond between the
mirror base and the windscreen, then remove
the mirror from the vehicle.
2 During installation, it is important to note
that the mirror base, windscreen black patch
and the adhesive patch should not be
touched, other than for cleaning, or the
adhesive bond may be adversely affected.
3 Remove all traces of old adhesive from the
mirror base, using a lint-free cloth and
methylated spirit, taking all normal safety
precautions. Allow the mirror base to dry.
4 Clean the windscreen black patch in a
similar manner.
Refitting
5 Note that, before installing the mirror, the vehicle should have been in an ambient
temperature of approximately 20ºC for at least
an hour.
6
With the contact surfaces scrupulously
clean, remove the protective tape from one
side of the adhesive patch and press firmly
into contact with the mirror base.
7 Note that when fitting a mirror to a new
windscreen, the protective tape must be
removed from the windscreen black patch.

the lower hinge pin, and then remove the door
assembly.
Refitting
7 To refit, align the door hinge sections to the
hinge sections on the body, and insert both
hinge pins as far as possible, by hand.
Ensuring that the hinge pins have entered all
three sections of hinge, tap them gently
through, with a soft-faced hammer, until their
retaining clips can be fitted. New retaining

Remove its bezel also. On models with electric
front window switches in the door trim panel,
disconnect the switch wiring multi-plugs as the
trim panel is withdrawn.
4 Detach the armrest/doorpull assembly from
the door. Some models are fitted with an
armrest/doorpull secured by three screws,
two of which are concealed behind a
removable panel. Certain lower specification
vehicles have the door pull secured with only
two screws. (see illustrations)
5 On front doors, remove the three screws
securing the door stowage pocket/speaker
grille moulding, then pull the moulding upper
edge away from the door, and disengage the
hook fixings on its base from their locations
(see illustration) .

clips around the base and the sides of the
panel, then raise it to free it from the door. If a
trim clip tool is unavailable, two thin flat-
bladed screwdrivers carefully inserted
between the trim panel and the door may
suffice. Place the screwdrivers on each side
of the clips and then apply gentle leverage.
