Hello all,
I have a 93 240 DL on which the drivers side rear door handle fell
off because the bolts worked loose. How do I remove the interior panel to
access the workings of the door mechanism? Do I need special tools?
Remove the plastic square around the door opening handle (press the
upper edge a bit down and the lower edge a bit up and pull it out).
Unscrew the lock-unlock button (the one just inside the window).
Pull the plastic clinders out of the base of the armrest (the two of
them). You'll see two screws. Remove them too. Rotate the armrest about
60 or 70 degrees up and you can pull it out.
Rotate the clamps on the bottom of the maps-and-other-stuff-holders 90
degrees and pull them out. Move them up carefully. Remove both screws.
Use a wide screwdriver to losen the clips on the front and rear edge. Be
careful not to break them.
Lift the panel up a bit and it's free.
I'm sorry for the English (I don't know how all these handles and
buttons are called in English), but I'm sure you'll understand what I
mean if you start removing it.
While working on the door, also check that the holes on the lower edge
of the door are free and remove sand and other dirt. It will prevent
rust.
