Removing
Open the door.
At the bottom, slide the clamping washer off the door latch pin; pull your finger up.
At the upper and lower hinges, unscrew, respectively, two M8 bolts with internal hexagons or one bolt with a hexagon head. At the same time let the assistant hold the door.
Remove the door with its hinges.
During installation, the bolts must be tightened with a torque of 45 Nm.
Instruction. If the door is not held in position "Open", probably both bolts that held the door retainer to the A-pillar came loose.
Installation
For door installation "Volkswagen" must stand on a horizontal surface on wheels.
Loosen the fastening of the locking pin with which the door lock is connected.
Connect the door to its hinges so that it can move in all directions.
Insert the door into the doorway so that the door panel together with adjacent body parts form a smooth surface. In addition, a gap of the same width must be maintained around the door.
From the inside of the machine, check whether the door fits correctly with its seal.
If the installation is correct, you can tighten the hinge bolts.
Press the lock button on the handle. Slightly lift the door and allow the lock to connect with the lock finger.
Release the button, open the door by lifting it slightly.
Lock the lock pin securely in this position.
Check door installation; further adjust if necessary.
Left door hinge shown (older design) with two screws having internal hexagons. If you only have an L-shaped socket wrench, it is better to use it together with a curved ring wrench, as shown in the photo.
On right newer design. Fastening is carried out only with one bolt from above and from below.
