Rear Door Inner Panel Removal

Hi

My rear door electric window has stopped working so i want to remove the inner panel and take a look at it. Has anyone got any pointers / tips for removing this panel if its easy enough to do?

Thanks

The door panel is really easy. Prise out the electric window switch and disconnect the wiring. There might be a screw in there that you have to take out. Remove the screw from the door handle and remove the surround. on later models remove the screw from the door grab handle or on early models remove screws from the arm rest. Now use a screwdriver and prise the trim panel away from the door and lift it upwards and over the inner door handle.

Is there a click when you operate the switch?

Chances are it's the regulator. To remove this you will need to lower the window to get at the two regulator bolts then raise the window and use strong tape to hold it up. There are two other bolts to remove and disconnect the wiring. It's quite fiddly getting the regulator out.

Having said all this, you sure it's not a fuse?

Removed the panel and found out the cable had frayed causing the mechanism to jam. Nearly fixed it and all was passing through the motor when the cable snapped. V irritating so i now need to track down a new regulator motor i guess. or just wedge the window permanently shut!

Why don't you repair the cable? Is too short ends on the cable so you can't repair it?
