Door card repair
 
6 Attachment(s)
My drivers door car has been loose at the top back corner since I got the car, I thought I would just have to live with it till I found the post on the replacement clip by "The Coupe".

The palstic insert had broken at some point in the past, I am not sure what the point of the cable tie is.

The new clip is available from Jag.

I marked the position and then removed the old clip with a flexible knife.

The clip came off no problem.

I used 2 part epoxy glue to stick the new clip on.

Clamped for 24 hours.

Nice job, did same clip on my drivers door!Previous owner had used tape (clear) to hold the card in place~yuk

Good to see Araldite still kicking, haven't seen it since I lived in Luton lol!

Did the same epoxy fix on the same post in the door 'card'*. I also added four 3" x 8" strips of dynamat on the inside of the door skin. Also used a zip tie to hold down the long rod running from the inside door handle to the latch mechanism. Anything that rattled got muffled, tied down or wrapped.
