New doors - fitting and bits needed
« on: 09 March 2009, 23:03:38 »

My rear doors are getting terrible around the arch and the wife is nagging me to tidy it up :-[

Seen some on ebay which are from a facelift but pressume they're the same shape (off a V plate saloon)?

what parts can i transfer from my doors and what will i need to replace new i.e. those bloody side trims that bend and never fit again?

Is it a hard job to transfer glass and associated rubber trim / seals as these doors are just the bare metal (and some paint)?



cheers guys (keep her off my back please ;)) :y

Jake its a nice & simple job i can give you hand if you want i done my front doors easily.

just swap the door cards over i used new pins on the doors too

you do need one person to hold the door while another hammers the pins in the doors are very heavy!

i got a set of mint rust free z147 doors for £50 come with glass speakers etc

The doors i'm looking at haven't got any glass in and they're £50 each delivered so might look around.

Also being an early elite my door cards have got the rear window demisters built in so wondered how the ducting works for these?
