    Not really styling but sort of

    Some little s*d decided last night to try to break into my cav by bending the window frame outwards, alarm went off (eventually) and must have scared him off, but not until he bent it about 4 inches out and took off the paint where it joins the door....

    My question is I now have to replace the door cos it looks crap now, but i had a go and those pins won't shift, please can someone advise just how i go about removing the door and ultimately re-fitting one?

    Cheers guys.

    Wind down the window and bend back the door to the right shape/position

    yeah done that, but it still is not right looks terrible and does not fit right anymore keeps catching the middle bit, plus the paint flaking at the top of the door and the crease it left looks shi*e.

    Gotta replace the door, the rest of the car is almost mint, this spoils it .

    You need to remove the door pins to get the door off.

    You can get the tool from www.machinemart.co.uk or .com

    They are about £15 I think
