Hi
I am in the process of replacing the passenger side sill panel on my SIII
Sovereign. I decided that the best way to drill out all of those spot welds
along the top edge of the door shuts would be to remove the doors. I
foolishly expected the door removal to be a simple job ;-(
The rear door was easy but the front door caused me problems. Basically the
problem is to do with the wiring. I expected to be able to remove all of the
wires inside the doors fairly easily as they would all have some kind of
plug/connector to remove wouldn’t they ?
Well most of the wires do have connectors except for the electric mirror
wires. I spent a long time feeling around inside the door looking for a
connector of some kind before attempting to remove the mirror. One of the
screws holding the mirror to the door just keeps turning so I cannot remove
the mirror to look for a connector inside it. In the end I just cut the
wires and will put bullet connectors back in when the door goes on.
Just a little annoying having to actually cut wires. ;-( anyone else done
the same thing ?
The car looks a little sad with no doors and the sill removed !
Regards
Roger
