Inner door

[Qubit]

Once again i must ask for the help of the wiser and more knowledgable than myself!    I have a problem with my central locking, drivers mirror etc.   Seems this is likely to be water ingress and a plug at fault.  Before i go dismantling the door though, please can someone let me know if i need to remove a metal inner panel that has a seal around its inside (like on the leon mk1) or if just removing the door card is enough to access the problem plugs?     (and whether id need to have a replacement seal handy after doing this).    Cheers!

Door card off and all you'll then have is a polythene sheet (if it's still there) to remove then straight to the control unit on the window mechanism

Hi, thanks for your reply :)   thats interesting, so im guessing putting that back correctly and intact is probably quite important!

On mine it was shredded and would of needed two rolls of gaffer tape to fix it, so I made a new one out of laminated flooring thermal underlay

You know, that is one of the cleverest ideas I have heard on here in quite a while. top tip there, and cheap too. :thumbup:

How bizarre, i was wondering what i could use, i found a picture of the inside of the door and thought it looks very similar to the underlay i used to put down a new utility floor before xmas.   Ive actually been carrying the leftover around in the back of the car as it was apparently unwelcome in the house!!

Having done this on both a Leon and my Octy, yes it's sheet on the Octy. Much easier to get into the door, but the Leon metal carriers are much easier to seal back up reliably.

If you get under that bit of sheet, prepare yourself for redoing it multiple times until you sort the leaks :(

I used a piece of clear damp course polyethylene sheeting to replace mine ;)
