6 Ensure that the door is adequately
supported, then unscrew the pivot pins from
the hinges (see illustration).
7 Lift the door from the vehicle.

Refitting

8 Refitting is a reversal of removal, noting that
the hinge pins fit with their heads towards
each other, ie, the upper pin fits from below
the hinge, and the lower pin fits from above
the hinge.
9 On completion, check the fit of the door
with the surrounding body panels. On early
models, the fit of the doors can be adjusted as
described in paragraph 11.
10 If adjustment of the door lock is required,
this can be achieved by altering the position
of the lock striker within the elongated bolt
holes in the body pillar.

Adjustment - early models only

11 The fit of the door can be adjusted using

shims fitted between the hinge and the door.
To add or remove shims, loosen the bolts
securing the hinge to the door (the door inner
trim panel must be removed for access to the
bolts - see Section 13), then fit or remove
shims as necessary.

was damaged during removal, and refit the
door trim panel with reference to Section 13.

Door lock

Removal

15 Remove the door interior handle and the
exterior handle, as described previously in this
Section.

16 Working at the rear edge of the door,
unscrew the three lock securing screws (see
illustration).
17 Where applicable, disconnect the wiring
plug from the central locking motor on the
lock assembly.
18 Lower the lock assembly into the door,
and manipulate the lock operating rods until
the assembly can be withdrawn through the
door aperture. If it proves necessary to
disconnect any of the rods, carefully note the
routing and location to ensure correct
refitting.

15 Door window glass and

regulator - removal and
refitting

3

Front door window glass

Removal

1 Remove the door inner trim panel as
described in Section 13.
2 Lower the window glass two-thirds of the
way.
3 Carefully peel the plastic sealing sheet from
the door.
4 Pull the weatherstrip from the lower edge of
the window aperture.

5 Partially pull the weatherstrip from the rear
and upper edge of the window aperture.
6 Where applicable, disconnect the electric
window motor wiring connector, and move
the wiring harness to one side.
7 It is now necessary to release the clip
securing the window glass to the regulator
mechanism.
8 On models up to 1992, this is a difficult
operation, as the lugs on the clip must be
released from behind the glass. Peugeot tool
(-)7.1309 is available for this purpose, but the
tool can be improvised by drilling a hole of
suitable diameter in a small block of wood or
plastic. Push the tool onto the rear of the clip
to compress the lugs, whilst at the same time
pushing the window glass to release it from
the clip (see illustration).
9 On models from 1993, the clip is fitted
behind the glass, and can be released by
reaching in through the door aperture and
turning the clip through a quarter-turn.
10 Lift the glass out through the outside of
the window aperture.

Refitting

11 Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing
in mind the following points.

a) On models up to 1992, ensure that the

clip securing the glass to the regulator is
securely engaged.

b) To ease refitting of the weatherstrips, coat

them with soapy water (washing-up liquid
is ideal).

c) If the plastic sealing sheet was damaged

during removal, fit a new sheet.

d) Refit the door inner trim panel with

reference to Section 13.

Front door regulator

Removal

12 Remove the window glass as described
previously in this Section. Alternatively,
release the clip securing the window glass to
the regulator mechanism, then lift the glass up
and secure it to the top of the door using

secure, and that there is no danger of it
dropping back into the door.
13 Where applicable, disconnect the wiring
plug(s) from the electric window motor.

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.

removal, refitting and
adjustment

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).

pop-rivets.

b) Check the operation of the lock

mechanism before refitting the trim panels.

c) If necessary, on models where the

Mirror glass

Removal

8 Various methods have been used to retain
the glass. On some mirrors, the glass cannot
be removed from the housing, and the
complete mirror unit must be renewed. The
mirror glass may be stuck using adhesive
pads; on later types of mirror, the glass may
be held by a wire clip, or by a locking ring.
9 To remove a mirror glass secured by a
locking ring, tilt the glass fully upwards, then
insert a screwdriver at the lower edge of the
glass and locate the locking ring. Lever the
locking ring towards the door of the vehicle to
release the glass (see illustration).
