Note: This describes the removal of the front door trim. For the rear door, the working techniques are similar.
Removal
Disconnect the parts in numerical order. Some equipment sets may have a modified door trim handle or power window switch.
Remove the window lift handle. To do this, insert a screwdriver or cloth between the spacer washer and the handle and press the retaining clips, see the figure. At the same time, remove the window lift handle from the drive axle. If access to the handle is poor, the retaining clip can also be removed with a wire.
Use a screwdriver to pry the cap off the door handle trim mounting bolt. Service stations use a special tool for this. Move the handle trim forward and remove it.
Loosen the armrest mounting screws. The picture shows COLT/LANCER release before 8.88.
If present, unscrew and remove the electric window switch from the door trim. Disconnect the switch connector.
Pry up the lower part of the door trim with a wide plastic or wooden wedge. This will release the fastening buttons from their holes. Remove the door trim.
If there are buttons left in the door, make a tool for removing them according to the drawing and pull out the buttons.
If necessary, remove the moisture-proof film in the door cutout, being careful not to tear the film.
Installation
Carefully and without folds, stick the waterproof film to the door frame from the bottom up. The film should isolate the interior from drafts, noise and water penetration. Most often, the film sticks well with the remaining sealant. If the adhesive effect is insufficient, apply MITSUBISHI ЗМ ATD Nr. 8625 sealant (black)
Check the door trim fastening buttons. Replace damaged and bent buttons.
If available, route the power window cable through the hole in the door trim.
First place the door trim on top, then insert it from below and press it down with your palm in the places where the buttons are located.
Attach the armrest. Put the caps on the screw heads, if any.
Insert and screw the door handle.
Place the window lift handle with the locking clip on the axle so that when the window is closed it is in the same position as on the opposite door. Before doing this, insert the plastic ring.
