DS5 Blue 1.6HDi Rear window regulator

Unread post by C5runner »

Hi,

I am in the process of trying to repair a rear passenger window regulator.
Have removed the relevant bolts /screws (around the door handle and the one on side of door).
Have come to a halt trying to remove the door card.
Is it just a matter of pulling the door card off now - pull out from bottom and then lift upwards?
The door card seems VERY tightly attached - afraid of using too much brute force.
(I have a set of replacement plastic fasteners if needed).
Am I on the right track, any suggestions?

As always, thanks.

You need to remove the trim as shown below with trim tools....

... to expose the bolts underneath that need to be removed....

then the door pad studs are unclipped, the pad gently pulled out then vertically upwards shown by the black arrow on the right.

This should give access to the sealing sheet and other components. Be careful though as there may be things like the speakers or electrical connections to the window control unit etc., that you may need to unclip, remove or disconnect first.
