Along with all the others that go with an old car an annoying rattle has started from the inside of my drivers door, and was wondering how easy is it to take the door cards off too have a gander? Thanks

 

mk3 easy and mk4 very easy

 

Is it just removing the window rubber and the 4 screws down the sides? What about the door handle and window buttons does it come off around them? Sorry getting bit dark to have a proper look now

 

yes do the side screws, front and back
gently prise out window switch and disconnect plug, (could do this after handle trim)
prise out handle trim from base, flat blade screwdriver, gently wiggle the remaining part upto the switch end, revealing 2 or 3 cross head screws, undo them
handle off, now pop switch ot from underside, does less damage if ham fisted, then you have opening catch trim, open handle to get at screw, guide off that piece, theres a cover cap at front of door pocket, prise out with tiny flat blade
then your almost done, gentle tugging on sides and top panel will slacken off
then you lift panel up over the catches on lowest edge,
obviously if I`ve missed out any sighted screws remove them from the card,
don`t lose anything and you reverse the process to refit

 

theres a screw under the door pocket cap ,

 

I know this is an old thread, but did you every resolve the noise ?
