Changing Doors on 318iS

[gurj247]

In the near future I am hoping to change the two front doors on my 318iS, but having never done this sort of thing before i'm not sure if this is an easy job or what.

Can anyone provide any advise on this, or is it pretty much straight forward?

Thanks in advance.

Open door
Unplug electrics
Unbolt door stay
Remove the 8mm bolt from the centre of each hinge
lift door off the lower hinge stub.

Note that the bolts that retain the hinge plate to both the door and the car frame should not be disturbed.When you obtain your replacement doors,try to make sure that they have been removed as described above,then they will just drop onto your car and fit perfectly.

When you refit the electrics plug into the A pillar, it's essential that the rubber boot is fixed back onto the plug first. Try to fit the boot when the plug is in, and water WILL leak into it.
