If Pippin was here, he would say something really sarcastic like "Seek and ye shall find".

But I'm not going to say that. Oh no. Instead I will give you the direct link to the information you require:

Ofcourse, if I was a grumpy old b*gger, which I'm not, I could have said

USE THE BLOODY SEARCH FACILITY!!!

But as everyone thinks it's useless, I'm not going to say that either.

You don't need to unclip the rod off the interior door handle; if you've undone the screws in the handle, it can be fed through its hole as you lift the panel away by gently twisting it a bit.

When refitting the panel, lower the window first as it makes it easier. As for the plastic door liner, be wary of the black mastic that fixes it on, its a total git to get off. I was wearing latex gloves and the twang as I pulled my hand away truly stung!
