How to remove door panels? Early type 1973

[yxi]

Hi, i have searched around but did not find a how-to on this subject. Anyone have a receipt to remove them without damaging anything?

It is this type of panel(picture obviously not mine )

hey! you can look up the library on this site and go to the service manual, there is a section labeled body and chassis I think. select doors, removal+ installation of door lining. Alternatively you can use the Haynes manual for a w123 Mercedes, there only being two differences in procedure from memory. I did this a few years back so if you get really stuck I could have a look at mine again and talk you through it

It's covered in the online manual but rule number one is don't prise away from the door but lift upwards.

Online manual, library.... Anyone has some working links? When i try to go to library and choose someting from there, i only get some weird google ads stuff.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though:)

re: you talking w116 model yes?

Well answered!  It is 116.org after all.   I blame Xmas.

Anyhow, as to your last post,
I tried and used the link to the online manual and it was fine. I have however had issues from time to time using Google browser,
Perhaps use another browser.

cheers

Forget the Library this time
for the 116 type in Photo
(1) pop out the Black Plastic cover behind inside door release ( very small Pick or screwdriver under edge ) and you well see a Philips Screw remove it
(2) Slide down door release and you well see a larger Philips Screw , remove it
(3) Remove Philips screw under middle of Arm rest Bottom side
(4) Remove door lock round knob ( push up and down plastic lock knob ) just unscrew it
(5) Remove the 2 Philips screws and chrome plate along edge of panel at door jam lock area ( holding edge of panel
(6) Panel should now pop off may have some plastic pop on clips along bottom just work them off
be sure to replace the plastic liner behind the door panel in between the door panel and the metal door or moisture well get the back of the panel wet and mold well begin to grow , buy some sealant and seal the plastic back on , if torn just cut out a new piece .

If you want to replace the window Regulator you well need help most likely . Pm me or post for help
