Front door support beam
The door's support beam holds the door lock, window lifter and speakers. The window lifter can only be removed together with the support beam.
The door support beam can only be removed after the window lifter clamps holding the glass have been removed. To do this, the glass must be lowered to the mounting holes on the support beam and the clamp bolts loosened.
Removal
1. Remove the door trim.
2. Remove the outside door handle.
3. Remove the protective caps 3 (see illustration).
4. Lower the glass so that the bolts 1 that secure the glass become accessible through the mounting holes (see illustration 71.3).
5. Loosen bolts 1 and release clamps 2 of the window regulator (see illustration 71.3).
Attention! Bolts 1 should not be completely unscrewed.
