7 If work is to be carried out on the door
internal components, it will be necessary to
remove the plastic sealing sheet from the
inside of the door. First remove the
loudspeaker from the door as described in
Chapter 12. Starting at one corner of the
sheet, carefully peel it away, using a sharp
blade to cut the sealant bead where
necessary. On the rear door, release the sheet
from the locking knob by lifting the glass inner
moulding (see illustrations). Store the
detached sealing sheet such that it cannot
become contaminated with dust, to allow it to
be re-used later.
Refitting
8 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but press
the sealing sheet firmly onto the door so that it
is sealed all around its edges. If necessary,
use new sealant.
