JAGUAR X TYPE 2004 1.G Door Card Removal Manual

Door Card Removal
First, you have to loosen three screws on the panel. Two are located along the bottom edge, and
the third is behind a little plastic cover behind where the grab-handle is for closing the door from
inside. The cover pops off quite easily using a small screwdriver.
Once the screws are removed you then have to 'pop' the plastic clips that attach the panel to the
door metalwork. You are best starting from the bottom. Use a firm tugging motion, ideally with
your hands at either side of each clip.
It's easier to figure out when you see these pictures ( (c) John Parry)..

Once you have popped all the clips carefully lift the panel from the top edge of the door. The panel
will still be attached by the cable for the door release plus the wiring for the windows/mirrors etc.
You can extract the door cable from the handle by unclipping it from the top of the door, then
carefully removing the red clip from its support in the handle. The cable can then be turned at a
right ange to the handle and removed through the small slot provided.
Then unclip and unplug the wiring and that's it.
I'd suggest buying at least three of the pop-fasteners before starting the job as you will probably
break a few. They cost about 70p each from the dealer.
