Ok, so I managed to remove the door card by following the FAQ, but now I can't get the bloody thing back on...

It seems like the card is catching on the pink door card holder thingy by the window, and no matter how hard i push, it wont go over and fit the rest of the door at the same time

Are there any tips on how to get the door card back on easier?

It's not catching anywhere, it's just that I can't get the door card over the holder


Edit: Is the obvious solution to try fit it while the window is down?

 

you struggle like a ******* for 3 hours just like me , and don't break the pink things cause you look a prat when you walk in the garage and order them

 

Hi

Had this trouble too but if you wind the windows down its alot easier!

 

Window down, locate the top forward first, then lots of pressure on the top of the card as you pull the card down into place.......
It's not you, they are a pig!

 

yup, lots of swearing and grazed knuckles here. They are an absolute pig to get back on and then they just slip into place and you wonder WTF you were doing wrong.

 

Excellent advice guys!

Roll on the weekend!

 

Just browsing and saw this thread.
I've got an MY03 WRX, but WTF is a door card and pink holder and where are they ??

 

door card is the inside of the door

you need to remove to get to the speaker

 

Phew, with the windows down, refitting the doorcards was a breeze! It took me less than ten minutes each side :P

Now, all I have to refit is:

* glove box
* rear seat
* all plastic trimmings that hide carpet edges
* about 400 screws that were left over

*sigh*

 

Henrik,
You'll only need about 250 of those screws - the other 150 are spares
I should edit the FAQ to add the bit about winding windows down...
