Removal
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery with the ignition off.
Note: This will erase the data from the electronic memory units. See the instructions in the chapter "Electrical equipment".
Unhook and remove the inner casing.
Remove the inner door handle shield. To do this, pry the screw cover with a small screwdriver and unscrew the screw.
Pull the shield back, unhook it and pull it through the door handle.
Manual windows: remove the window handle. To do this, insert a screwdriver between the socket (4) and the handle (5) near the window lifter shaft and press out the mounting bracket (6), as shown in the figure.
Note: The mounting bracket may be turned 180° during installation (the hole in the bracket faces the handle).
Pull the handle off the window lifter shaft. Immediately after removal, insert the bracket back into the handle.
Unscrew the two screws, first prying their covers with a small screwdriver.
Pull the door trim off the door frame around the circumference and unhook it. To make the job easier, you can use a wide plastic or wooden spatula.
Electric windows: Pull the plug off the window switch.
Remove the door trim.
If necessary, carefully remove the protective film. To do this, pull the film off the frame and carefully trim the strip of glue with a sharp, thin knife.
Warning: Do not attempt to pull the protective film off the door without cutting the adhesive strip. Do not touch the adhesive surfaces of the film, otherwise the adhesive properties of the film will deteriorate. If the film is removed completely, it must be stored so that the adhesive surfaces do not become dirty. If the film is removed only partially, then fold it aside and stick it with adhesive tape.
If the film is also attached with clamps, then pull the film up to the first clamp of the door trim. Cut the film with a sharp knife around the clamp, pull it further and cut it near the remaining clamps.
Caution: Cut the film as close to the clamp as possible and do not tear it when pulling it.
Installation
Note: The protective film on the door must be glued tightly and without folds everywhere, otherwise it may be sucked into the door. Seal small cracks with adhesive tape. In case of severe damage, replace the entire film. To do this, place the blank film on the removed door trim and cut it so that it is shorter than the trim by about 5 mm. Finally, stick double-sided adhesive tape to the door frame along its entire circumference so that the tape is 6-8 mm from the edge. Pull the protective paper off the adhesive tape, align the film and press lightly. Secure the film so that no bubbles or folds form and the adhesive tape adheres evenly and completely.
Check the condition and tightness of the plastic clips securing the door trim. Replace damaged clips.
If present, attach the connector to the electric window lifter.
Place the trim against the door frame and align it so that the clips are over the holes in the door frame.
Press the door trim and hit the trim with your palm where the clamps are located.
Screw in two screws and install their covers.
If removed, install the window lifter handle. To do this, insert the clamp (bracket) into the handle. Put the handle on the splines of the axle. The window lifter handle should be directed forward when the window is closed. Snap the window lifter handle into place.
Align the armrest and side pocket and secure them with screws.
Open the inner door handle drive, insert the cover and put on the speaker plug. Screw in the screw and insert its cover.
Attach the inner casing.
Connect the negative cable to the battery.
Set the clock readings, enter codes if necessary.
