Is the rear door very heavy to lift into position :-\ Need to replace one on the fl 2.5 . 2 man job ?

It's doable with one if you've had practice. Otherwise, definitely a two man job.

I find a 25 litre drum supports the door just about the right height. Or possibly a 20 lt trade club oil drum. :y

I had two doors from nigel a front and rear owing to them being in better condition than mine and owing to them being so cheap .
With the rear doors you just need to swap the door cards.. But with the front you need to do lock/solenoid/Latch etc;
I find it best to remove/refit cards with window fully down.
You will be back here tomo asking about the hidden screws... ;D ;D ;D if so i will put a pic up...Got a rear door in garage with card off :y

Well...Is it on now :-\
