Need some help please!

[Mr.G]

Need advice on how to remove the door card (drivers - not that it should make any difference) on an S3.

There is such an annoying rattle coming from a broken clip or screw/bolt etc i'm pulling my hair out.

Thanks in advance!

I had a nasty rattle whch turned out to be the safety bars that run through the door, they'd come loose...the bolts are at either end of the door, you wont need to take the door card off if you have the same problem i had...

From memory :

1. Remove 1 screw from each end of the door card at the top.

2. Remove screw from underside of grabhandle, and remove small trim panel.

3. Remove large screw from under grab handle trim.

4. Lift door card up ~20mm and pull off door ~50mm.

5. Unplug wiring for windows & speakers, and disconnect door handle rod.

Reverse for refitting.

Cheers,
