Has anyone removed their door panel yet?

[serjio]

Hello everyone,,
I had my drivers door panel replaced under warrantee because it was damaged from factory. Since they replaced it my interior door handle sticks after driving for a long period of time, almost like the latch cable is too tight. I’d rather mess with it myself than waste a day at the dealer. Any advice? https://snaptube.cam/ https://syncnet.onl/telegram-web/ 9apps

Hi @serjio - If you end up having to address this with your dealer, we are more than happy to provide you with an additional layer of support for that process.

Can someone please explain how to release the cable as seen in figure 5? I have fought this thing for 2 hours. is there a special tool required? Thanks

Look at the attached #5 image above , you have to unseat the number “2” Part first by pulling straight out then rotate the cable 90 degrees and the ball from number “1” should come out of its holder

Before I struggled with something for several hours - that was under warrantee - I'd just take it back to the dealer.
