Over the last month or so I have removed both doors for a refurbishment - new paint and seals etc plus repainting the forward area of the door frame, an area not easy to access with the door on. This may be of interest to anyone else wishing to remove their doors.
A little masking tape along the rear edge of the wing may help avoid marks if any rub occurs during removal.
First remove the door hold open bolt on the hinge and fully retract the rod otherwise it will hang up on the hinge when removing the door.
The electrical plug is a quick release connector which hinges off at the bottom of the plug
Support the door (it is heavy with all the glas, mechanism and trim) and remove all six 8mm hinge bolts.
Lift the door clear and place in a safe place.
The door trim, glass and glass mechanism could be removed before removing the door to make handling easier.
