jamesey Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 hi my rear passenger door is creased :D big time , ive come across a winsor blue galaxy rear door the same colour as my seat and wondered what is involved in swapping the doors over , thanks in advance :wacko: Quote
NikpV Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 the door hinges are attached to the door and then welded to the car so small variations in position may cause you some problems (hearsay - there was a thread about this a while ago) Quote
tiny Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) I replaced my offside rear door last year (Galaxy to Galaxy though). The replacement was a very good fit, with just very slight adjustment required for the top of the frame, in my case it simply needed bent in slightly by hand. You will need to remove the bolt that holds the door strap to the B pillar, then open the door wide enough to be able to undo the socket on the multiplug for the door harness (just twist and pull). Then there are (IIRC) 2 locking screws that go through the hinges (one in each) to hold the pin in place, remove these. Then the door will simply lift from its hinges.(the door pins are captive in the door side of the hinge and stay in the door, no chiselling required) You will be amazed at how easy the job is. Im not kidding, I could change a Galaxy door in 10 minutes. Edited February 27, 2008 by tiny Quote
jamesey Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) nice one tiny thanks , i was lucky to get the colour i wanted , the only other hard bit to change over is the door doesnt have any regulater in it i have to change it from my door to fit on to the new one , do you think i could salvage any bits from the old door and flogg em on flee bay ie the locking solinoid , or the window glass ect .

tiny Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Ebay, the number one place for selling sh1te to idiots! Stick em on, you'll probably find it difficult to sell a door glass though, hard to post! Solenoid should sell, research what else it fits and include the info in your title, make it more saleable. Ive still got one kicking round that came with my door. make sure the tint is the same in both doors before you get rid of the glass! you dont want to end up with one odd window! Quote
