Removal
19 Remove the door inner trim panel as
described in Section 13.
20 Carefully peel the plastic sealing sheet
from the door.
21 Unscrew the two bolts securing the rear
window guide rail.
22 Where applicable, prise the trim strip from
the fixed window seal.
23 Pull the weatherstrip from the lower edge
of the window aperture.
24 Partially pull the weatherstrip from the rear
and upper edge of the window aperture.
25 Slide the rear window guide rail
downwards into the door.
26 Remove the fixed glass, complete with
the seal, by tilting and pulling forwards (see
illustration). Note that the rear window guide
rail remains attached to the sliding glass.
Refitting
27 Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing
in mind the following points.
a) To ease refitting of the weatherstrips, coat
them with soapy water (washing-up liquid
is ideal).
b) If the plastic sealing sheet was damaged
during removal, fit a new sheet.
c) Refit the door inner trim panel with
reference to Section 13.
Rear door regulator

removal, refitting and
adjustment
2
Removal
1 Open the boot lid, and using a pencil or felt
tip pen, mark the outline position of each boot
lid hinge relative to the boot lid, to use as a
guide on refitting.
2 Have an assistant hold the boot lid open
then, using a pair of pliers, disconnect the
spring assisters from the brackets on the
body - take care, as the springs are under
tension. Note which bracket slots the ends of
the springs are positioned in, to ensure
correct refitting (see illustration).
3 Unscrew the bolts securing the hinges to
the boot lid, and lift off the boot lid.
Refitting
4 Refitting is a reversal of removal, noting the
following points.
a) Align the hinges with the marks made on
the boot lid before removal.
b) Make sure that the spring assisters are
refitted to their original slots in the body
brackets.
c) On completion, check the alignment of
the boot lid with the surrounding panels,
and check the operation of the lock, and if
necessary adjust as follows.
Adjustment
5 The alignment of the boot lid can be
adjusted by slackening the hinge bolts, and
moving the boot lid on the hinges (the holes in
the hinges are elongated).
6 There are adjustable rubber stops at each
side of the lid to prevent damage to the
surrounding panels when closing the lid. There
are also rubber stops under each hinge arm,
which should be adjusted to prevent the lid
from opening too far and causing damage to
the front corners of the lid (see illustration).
