Removal and installation of the carrier panel with attachments

Instructions: Below is a description of the removal and installation of the right carrier panel. The left carrier panel is removed and installed in the same way.

The carrier panel has a power window, a door lock and a speaker. The door lock can only be removed together with the support panel. The support panel can only be removed after the window glass clamping screws have been loosened. To do this, lower the glass to the level of the mounting holes and loosen the clamping screws. If the glass does not go down when there is an electric window regulator, first find out the exact cause of the malfunction. To do this, use the tester -VAS 5051 A- or -VAS 5052- to interrogate the fault memory of the comfort systems. If the cause is an electrical fault, fix the fault first. If the power window motor is faulty, you can remove it from the carrier panel and slide the glass to the desired position by hand.
