10 Remove the securing screws and detach
the C and D-pillar trim panels.
11 Remove the top of the facia panel.
12 Remove the securing screw from the base
of the A-pillar trim on each side. Detach the A-
pillar trim panels.
13 Remove the headlining through the
tailgate, peeling it back from around the sliding
roof (when applicable - see paragraph 15).
14 Refitting is essentially a reversal of the
removal procedure. The services of an
assistant will be required during the initial
stages of refitting.
15 When a sliding roof is fitted, the headlining
is secured around the aperture with double-
sided adhesive tape.
1 To remove a manually-adjusted mirror, first
pull off the operating lever cover. Remove the
triangular trim panel which covers the mirror
mounting: this panel is secured by a single
screw concealed under a cover. Pull out the
control retaining clip (see illustrations).
2 For electrically-adjusted mirrors, remove the
door interior trim panel (including the triangular
trim panel) and peel back the top part of the
foam sheet for access to the mirror multi-plug.
Disconnect the multi-plug.
3 For all mirrors, support the mirror and
remove the three securing screws. Lift the
mirror off the door, disengaging the base from
the rubber seal (see illustration).
4 Refit by reversing the removal operations.
1 Remove the mirror from the windscreen by
“sawing” through the adhesive bond with a
piece of nylon cord.
2 Clean the mirror base and the mounting
area on the windscreen with methylated spirit.
Both items must be perfectly clean, and the
windscreen must be at room temperature
(20°C/68°F approx).
3 Peel off the backing paper from one side of
the special adhesive patch. Press the sticky
side of the patch firmly onto the mirror base.
4 Warm the mirror base and patch to 50°
to 70°C (122° to 158°F). Immediately remove
the backing paper from the other side of the
patch and press the mirror firmly onto the
mounting area. Hold it in position for at least
two minutes, and do not attempt to adjust the
mirror for at least half an hour.
5 Beware of using proprietary adhesives to
attach the mirror to the windscreen: not all are
suitable and some may leave residues which
are difficult to remove.
Models before April 1992
1 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2 Remove the instrument panel surround,
which is secured by four screws. Pull out the
heater louvre panel.
3 Remove the facia top (crash pad), which is
secured by five screws and four spring clips.
With the screws and clip removed, a good tug
will free the top from the clips next to the
windscreen (see illustration).
4 Remove the carpet and soft trim from below
the facia on both sides. It is clipped in place.
5 Remove the driver’s side lower trim panel,
which is secured by six screws. One of the
screws is only accessible after removing the
air vent grille. Unclip the AWS bulb failure
warning module, when fitted (see illustration).
