940 Front Door Card Pockets??
Hi
My attempted fix to the wrinkly tops of my door cards hasn't been a total success, I had to slit near the door locking button, that has been fine over the winter, but now the warmer weather is here, the contact adhesive used is obviously not holding as a slight gap can now been seen. Have located a set of supposedly good cards, but both front cards have broken plastic storage pockets and carpet near armrest is dirty. My existing pockets are thankfully pretty much unscuffed and not cracked, and my carpet sections are unmarked. Does anyone know off hand, if the pockets and carpet sections can be unscrewed or unclipped from the cards without damaging the card structure??

On my 740 they just unscrew from the rear. A two minute job.
I'm pretty sure 940 ones are the same, certainly late 760 ones are a straight swap too (but have carpeted lower door bins). The carpet sections behind the door pulls are held in with fir tree clips - they can be removed and re-used with a bit of care. Just go careful when removing them as it can damage the doorcard if too much force is used. |

The carpet pieces are held on by three plastic clips on each. They slide into keyhole type slots on the back but I suspect you will have to push the clips out of the door card rather than try to unhook the insert from the clips because one of the slots goes in the opposite direction to the other two. Have a look at a picture of some to get the idea, e.g.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373905647002 I’ve never removed or refitted these myself. Those sort of fittings are usually ok to manipulate if you can access the back of them to push them out but often snap if you cannot. |

Many thanks guys, most helpful.
Cards I've found are at a breakers nearby, so are off the car. I had intended to take my cards off, remove the good pockets and carpet, and just swop over onto the hopefully good cards with no wrinkles, so I will be able to access both sides to get to clips. Cheers Steve |

Yes I had damage pocket on the original door card I did a door swap on, but my original skin/vinyl was in good shape, but the replacement door had bad vinyl.
At the time I indentified 2 different constructions which one appeared on the surface to be the source of the wrinkly vinyl. I can provide pictures of the different constructions if anyone is interested. |
