Instructions: Below is a description of the work on removing and installing the right bearing panel. The left bearing panel is removed and installed in a similar way, the bolts have left-hand threads.
The window lift, lock and speaker are fixed to the carrier panel. The door lock can only be removed together with the carrier panel. The carrier panel can only be removed after loosening the window glass clamping screws. To do this, lower the glass to the level of the mounting holes and loosen the clamping screws. If the glass does not go down despite the presence of an electric window lift, first find out the exact cause of the fault. To do this, use the tester -VAS 5051 A- or -VAS 5052- to query the fault memory of the comfort systems. If the cause is an electrical fault, first rectify this fault. If the electric motor of the window lift is faulty, you can remove it from the carrier panel and move the glass to the required position by hand.
Removal
Remove the front door trim. Remove the outer door handle. Pry off and remove the plugs "2". Lower the glass until you can access the screws that secure it "3". Loosen the bolts "3" (do not unscrew them completely, keep in mind that they have a left-hand thread; tightening torque: 8 Nm) and release the clamping pads. Slide the glass upward and secure it (for example, using sticky tape). Unlock the cover fasteners "arrow a" and detach the cover. Disconnect the connector "1" on the pillar, having first lowered its locking lever "arrow b". Disconnect the connector for the outside mirror "5" on the window lift motor "4".
Remove the outside mirror wiring harness 4- from the mounts. Insert the wires from the A pillar into the door and disconnect their holder. Unscrew the bolt "5" of the door handle. Unscrew the bolts "3" of the door lock. Unscrew the bolts "arrow".
Separate the lower part of the support panel "1" from the door "arrows a". Remove the support panel from the door by moving it downwards and sideways towards the pillar "arrow b". First, remove the upper part of the window lifter "5" from the door, then the door lock "2". Remove the connector "3" and the wiring harness "4" together with the support panel "1".
Installation
Insert the carrier panel into the door from the bottom up, "arrow a" diagonally to the door. Install the lock "3", window lifter, "2" and connector "4" in the corresponding places in the door. Press the lower part of the carrier panel "1" and insert it into the door "arrows b". Lay the wire harnesses "5".
Center the position of the supporting panel "1" by placing it on the projections "5". Install all the bolts arrow-. First tighten the bolts "5". Then tighten the remaining bolts "arrow" in any order. The tightening torque of the bolts "arrow 4" is 8 Nm. Secure the glass. Tighten the lock mounting bolts "3" with a torque of 20 Nm. Tighten the bolt "9" of the handle "8". Check the position of the seal "10". Connect the connectors -6 and 7-. Then perform the actions performed when removing the supporting panel in the reverse order. Before installing the door trim, check the operation of the door mechanisms.
