Has anyone here any experience of stripping a VW Touran door lining to
access a central locking solenoid? I have an 06 reg car and out of all the
solenoids, it has to be the drivers door one that has started sticking
occasionally.

The obvious place to start is at the three screws right at the bottom of the
door lining but I was wondering if there are any "gotchas" or basic
priciples of removing a door lining before I start cursing at hidden
retaining clips etc.

As far as I can see there are no other concealed screws, just the three at
the bottom but I'm sure there will be hidden clips somewhere.

Any advice?

Tim

If you're actually stuck then you can get a 1 day subscription to Erwin.

Thanks, that looks very similar to the Touran door so it should be a big
help.
