Information

The fixing clips must always be replaced after the door trim panel has been removed.

Information

The fixing clips can have two different positions (loosened and spread). Before installing the door trim panel, the fixing clips must be loosened fully because otherwise the door trim panel may not engage fully in the door sub-frame, possibly resulting in noises. In order to release the fixing clips, the spreaders must be moved to the front position by hand or using the removal pliers 9760.

Check that the new → FIXING CLIPS -17- are at the front position. Loosen the fixing clips -17- if necessary.
