Rear door, outer door panel

To remove


1. The outer door panel is folded over the rear edge of the door structure. Grind the edge so that the outer door panel releases.


2. Drill out the spot welds.


3. Knock away the outer door panel and lift off the outer door panel.

4. Remove the remaining plate strips on the inside of the door structure.

5. Straighten the edges of the door structure and grind it clean.


To fit


1. Apply sealant on the impact members. Use Terostat 1k-PUR.


2. Apply glue on the door structure's front and rear edges. Use Teromix 6700.

3. Apply weld primer to the lower edge of door structure. Use Teroson Zinc spray.

4. Align the new outer door panel and make sure the plate flanges lie against the door structure. Secure with grips.


5. Spot weld the door frame on the front edge and underside. Knock down and clamp the upper outer door panel's plate flange.


6. Knock in the plate flange in the door's rear edge using a hammer. Do not use pliers as this can damage the outside of the door.

7. Fit the door in place and check its alignment with the body. Adjust as necessary.

8. Wash off surplus welding primer. Welding primer makes for poorer adhesion of paint, filler and sealant.

9. Apply primer on all ground surfaces. Use Standox 1K Primer Filler.

10. Use Terostat 1K-PUR to seal joints and metal folds.

11. Apply anti-corrosion agent to the door after it has been painted.
