Removal of Rear door cards on 5 door 93' Golf VR6


Recommended Posts

How the hell do you get the off, can't see any screws at all!! i started pulling at the bak of the top right of the a part if it came away leaving a black plastic thing on the door trim and a white plastic threaded bit on the door itself, then tried pulling further down the door but something seems to have snapped, as there is now broken orange thing on the door card and a white plastic thing with two large circles of white plastic attached to the door, don't want to go any further if I'm breaking stuff and I have to do this tonight as have a long drive tomorrow and the electric window on that side has come out of it motor and so keeps falling down, don't want my daughter falling out of it (or sticking her head out of it) on the motorway.... Please help!!!!

Hopefully someone will see this as my posts don't seem to be showing up in the new posts bit...

Okay, in case anyone else is trying this, here's some tips. pull the top right (nearest the back) corner off first, then use a large flat headed screwdriver to get to inbetween the door card and the orange "plugs" prise the plugs out of the sockets on the door cards, thereare two on each side and i think 3 on the bottom.

Do the other things it mentions on the premium members guide, however mine didn't have any torq screws. And do NOT ignore the bit about being careful not to break the door handle, Mine popped off but luckily didn't break, if your does this the you can put it back on by removing the metal rod which opens the door and sliding it back into place by holding it as if you were fully opening the door.

If like me the idea of removing the entire window opening mechansim is too time consuming then here's a little trick to stop the window falling down (or even opening). Make sure you push the window fully top the top then, just to the right of the top retaining bolt is a sqaureish hole. find a screw in bolt about 6 or 7mm with a chunky thread (the sort you put beds together with :-) ) on it and about 2 inches long and screw that into the hole until it stops (don't screw to hard as if yours if a self tapping one like mine i guess there is a risk it could push into the door skin). This then stops the window falling down or opening.....

Hopefully this will help someone and thanks again for pointing me in the right direction
