REMOVAL AND REFITTING

NOTE: When disassembling (or reassembling) avoid damaging the paintwork.

• Disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery.
• Remove the door panel (see: PANEL).
• Remove the cellophane covering by removing the buttons with tool 1.823.015.000.

NOTE: Detach the covering with care in order to avoid damaging it. Store in a dust-free environment to avoid damaging the adhesive on the edge.

3. Using tool No. 1.823.016.000, withdraw the pin from the door check-strap, close the door slightly to allow entry of the door check-strap, and reopen the door.
4. Loosen the two bolts securing the door check-strap and remove them with their washers.

• Withdraw the door check-strap from the inside of the door.

To refit, reverse the procedure followed for removal and observe the following:

• Centre the pin of the check-strap using tool No. 1.823.017.000 coupled with tool No. 1.823.016.000.
• Before refitting the door check-strap, treat the resting surface of the strap with Type A rust-proofing (see: GR. 49 - TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICATIONS).
• After installing the door check-strap, treat the sides of the strap con Type A rust-proofing (see: GR. 49 - TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICATIONS).
• If the adhesive of the cellophane is no longer able to guarantee adhesion, replace the covering.
• Tighten the retaining screws to the correct torque.

• For the refitting of components dealt with in other pages of this or other groups refer to the relative advice and procedures (see: PANEL).
