Anyone know of step by step info on removal of door mirror or door panel? Doing some carbon fiber wrap and want to do mirros, but since they rotate can be tricky.
Thanks in advance,

Sorry, just realized that I for info about my car. 2011 Jaguar XJ Stratus Grey.

 

There are a few torx screws that have to be removed look carefully around the door. The Wood trim that runs the length of the door has to come off too. There is a 10mm bolt behind it that has to come off. There firmly remove the door panel. There are metal clips at the top of the panel, then plastic clips around the panel. Remove the latch cable from the latch, then the electrical connectors. Reverse the disassembly.

 

Jaglover92, thanks I will give it a look this week.

 

I realize this is an old post but I recently had a coworker slam my door so hard that it broke something off inside and now has a rattle. I'm trying to remove the passenger door and got it all the way but one spot behind the wood that's not letting the door panel come free. I'm pretty sure the wood panel has to come off but I don't want to just pull on it and in case it cracks. Is there a trick to removing this? Any insight or pictures would be a huge help.

Thanks,
Curtis

 

Bought subscription to Topix. Might as well share it with you. Hopefully you can take something from it.

 

I'm still trying to teach my grandchildren my XJL isn't a pick-up truck or an SUV piece of crap, so their isn't any need to slam the door, but bad habits are hard to break, especially among teens.

 

jaglover123 thank you so much for that .pdf! That is exactly what I was looking for. I spent 4 hours Saturday but couldn't figure out the wood panel. I was afraid if I pulled to hard it would crack.

 

micheal066. Not a problem at all mate. Can you take some picture while you are at it? Im trying to take off the panel but don't know where to start. I have a rattle as well coming from the door.

 

Are you wrapping your own carbon or are you having it done somewhere...

please keep us informed on how it turns out as I may be a client for the procedure if it comes out good.
