Removing and installing retaining rail on
door outer panel
1.9.1
Removing retaining rail
Caution
The following work steps are to be carried out with great care.
As door outer skin is to be reused, dents and scratches must
be avoided.
When cutting through the adhesive bead, always hold the re‐
taining rail and door outer skin together as shown in the illus‐
tration. If this is not done, the door outer skin will come away
from the retaining rail, thus rendering it useless.
Note
The following work steps should be carried out with the aid of an
assistant.

– Hold retaining rail and outer skin together securely when cut‐
ting through adhesive bead.
