guys, wifes 260e 1989. rear door check is bad. i have another one and i can not for the life of me fiqure out why the panel won't come off? i have taken front panels off many times. am i missing something on the rear? she will shoot me with my own AK-47 if i tear this interior up. it is perfect. help me or else....
As far as I know, the sedans all have clips holding the panel on, front and rear doors. It is not a 'slide-on' like the coupe's. After you get the door handle cup off, and the bolt underneath, should just pop off.
There are no tricks with the rear panel. It should come off in pretty much the same way as the front. I can only assume you have the strike plate cover removed as well as the plastic around the door latch pull. It might take a firm push "up" but should let go.
Good Luck and thanks again for the post on the fuel distributor
Ahhh... Ask me how I know. Now, that you're there, clean up the cable/mechanism for the window regulator and then put some grease. Roll it up and down a couple of times, then be pleased how it works.
By the way, I'm still mad that your parts car had a better FD then mine. That's O.K. the second one it's comming from Colorado in two weeks. I hope it's a good one, this time.
ease off bud... i needed a break. actually i am surprised that it even worked. that parts car has been down at the barn for months. actually, i only heard the engine run one time since i got it. it smoked, and the tranny acted funny. besides the fact it was a rust bucket underneath, (florida car) anyway, i wish you luck brother. yes, i planned on getting some WD tommorrow and spraying down everything inside. i DO NOT plan on going back in there for a long time. that panel was a B&*^H.
Just kidding! I'm happy for you, trust me! I'm working on my car since January! If is somebody feeling your pain, it's me!
