How to remove rear door panels Avant?

I'm sure I've read it here before, but cant find it anymore.

I have found a lot of screws already, but the panel doesn't want to move.

And yes, the screw hidden in the doorhandle is already loose.

Somebody BTDT before?

Are you moving the door card up?

[Sidspud]

Once all the screws are removed, just pull upwards and it should come off. Don't pull outwards or you'll snap the locating tabs.

No don't do it, taking them off involves putting them back on again. That will see the blood pressure rise and anglo saxon shouted at the man who designed it for many hours!

Yes I only move the doorcard up. I can see the Avant move upwards because of the force on the doorcard. But he didn't came loose.

Yes, I have knackered some locating tabs in the past... But never on a S2. I learned it the hard way with a CQ20v.

I think that the doorcards aren't moved since '93... So maybe they are a little stuck?

In my 2-minute drawing below, you can see which screws I already have located.



Did I miss something?

Nobody?

Yes, I removed it.

[Nero]

So...
It must come loose now? I'm gonna pull again!

[Nero]

They came off. Everything was loose, just had to put a lot of force on it.
