Steps
Remove the rear door panel
Release the panel clips and door pull cover, then remove the T25 screw. Lift the panel and disconnect the interior handle cable and window switch connector.
Access and remove the door check
Carefully separate the water shield adhesive without tearing the barrier. Remove the T40 body fastener and the 10mm door fasteners, then withdraw the check.
Install the replacement check
Apply suitable water-based silicone lubricant to the check rollers if recommended by the part maker. Position the replacement and install its fasteners to the vehicle's specification.
Restore the water shield and panel
Press the water shield back into place, reconnect the window switch and handle cable, and align the panel. Seat its clips and reinstall the T25 screw and cover.
Check door operation
Open and close the door through its normal range to confirm the check holds at its detents. Verify the panel is secure and the switch works.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
