Hi
has anyone a link to removing the drivers door panel ?

A gust of wind caught my door and damaged the Check strap which now need replacing.

It gets very windy in Ireland
Thank you
John

This is the VADIS instruction:

The warning about the battery lead - After switching off the ignition wait at least 5 minutes before disconnecting the negative battery lead. This is to avoid problems with SRS.

When re-connecting the negative lead the ignition switch must be in position 2 and nobody should be inside the car.

Thank you for that reply

Do you know will I damage any of the panel clips during this process or are they only screws ?

If this is a risk i would like to purchase these upfront

Thank you
John

Looking at the parts list there are 9 clips.

I should also have added that after re-connecting the battery you will need to initialize the upper electronic module which controls the central locking, interior lighting and sun roof if fitted. This is done by unlocking the car using the remote control or a key. Really difficult step, that one.

If your car is fitted with the manual or standard climate control you will also need to calibrate the blower fan. If fitted with a sun roof this will also need calibrating. Let me know if you need the instructions for either or both of these.

Could you pls add those extra instructions for the climate control and sunroof too pls? Seems like disconnecting the battery is likely at some point. Calibrating a sunroof??? Geez. Thanks in advance !

As has been said on this site recently, "There are too many computers on cars today." However, it does not change the old saying, "The biggest nut is the one behind the steering wheel!"

Thanks billofdurham ! Very quick to respond..
Not much of a calibration technique to the blower fan... wierd though. And having a sunroof calibration... omg... too many computers is right.

Hi Bill,

Do you have the instruction on removing the rear right side door panel for 2006 XC90? I'm trying to fix the power window issue with my XC90 and need to have a look at the how the power window mechanism works and what broke. Thanks.
