I have a door actuator problem that I have to pull off the door trim. My question is are there any tricks or tips when removing the drivers door trim, ie - electric windows & side mirrors controlls

Thanks

Mark

Opps- Sorry I have a BA 2004 M2

Would like to help as I have the same problem, but I'm not gonna mess with it cause its under warranty. So I'll take it to Fraud

I'm gonna take it in tommorow so I'll try be sneaky with the phone/camera and I'll post later... I have done it before in my BA and it is easy but the problem was the latch jobbie and needed to be replaced anyway (another reason I'm not gonna do it today).

I lied I'm taking it in on monday 23rd...

Went to fraud today and they fixed the door handle, sorry mate I didn't get pics...

If you are mechanically minded or even handy with a screwdriver you should have no problem fixing this...

(from memory)

-Theres a couple of phillips head srews behind the door handle (arm thing, pop the plastic cover off to reveal) take them out

-The power window switch will pop out (may have to use glue when putting back in, if you break the plastic tab )

-The rest of the door skin is held in with little plastic pop-in dealies, so grab at the bottom (open side) corner a pull off. The rest will come easier than the first.

-When the door skin is just hanging on, lift it upwards and it will come off (open the door handle to let it through)

Now, there is some clear plastic but you should be able to see the problem with the door handle, like the white plastic arm may not be connected to it anymore...

I would deffinately do it myself if I didn't have warrenty as Fraud will charge loads to do an easy job, and the worst part is they will want your car for a day...

Good luck
