Doors — removal and installation

1. Remove the door trim panel (see subsection 15). Disconnect the connectors and route them through the holes in the door so that the wires do not interfere with removal. Disconnect the wiring harness boot from the body, but leave the wiring harness boot attached to the door.

2. Place a jack under the door or have an assistant support it while removing the hinge bolts.

Note: If the door is being supported by a jack, place a cloth under the bottom edge to protect the paintwork.

3. Pull the rubber boot off the door travel stop and unscrew its bolts securing it to the pillar.

4. Remove the fasteners and carefully remove the door.

Note: Each hinge has two components, one of which is welded to the front body panel and the other to the door. Adjustment of the hinges is not possible; if replacement is necessary, contact a body shop.

5. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
