it appears my brother has rather hamfistedly broken my door lock on the car when attempting to open it with out the central locking (battery dico'd) so now need to wip the door card off and check whats up, but!! can some one tell me what tools are requireed???
i know its torx size, but cant remember what ones and dont want to have to take all mine up hahah! i know, lazy hey!!

ta in advance!!

Timmo.

Three torx hold the end plastic section on (one by the mirror blank, two behind the speaker grill), i think they are T15 or T20, either way they are pretty small. Then the two big torx that hold the door handle on, they are T35 or T40 me thinks. If youve got a trim removal tool, that might help if not then consider a big flat head screw drver.

hey timmo, if you do break a few of the plastic stud things ive got 3 spare doors in me garage with door cards intact so could prolly supply u wit a few replacements if you happen to break alot of em lol, they are pretty brittle these days.

thanks rossco, my door cards have been on and off enough to make them quite pliable!!

The screws at the speaker area are T20 and the armrest are T30.

thanks guys!
saves me having to take a whole mass of tools up next time!!!

muchly appreciated!

Be carefull when working the card off the door as the clip near the door mirror is more of a hook over type than a snap in stylee - the door card sort of hooks over it.

Frost do a very handy pair of flat levers with slots down the middle for levering off the cards and little white poppers without tearing the card. If you break any poppers though, I have seen them in an ordinary car accessory shop.
