I just received my new 2007 MCSc on Friday 13, 2007 and went to replace the front door componant speakers with MB Quarts I had but I ran into a problem right off the bat. I cannot locate the forth hex bolt that secures the door panel to the door frame! On my Mini there is two obvious bolts and one behind the reflector but the panel will not come free. In all the threads I have read there is directions to remove 4 total but I cannot find the fourth. It seems to be behind the long door pull near the latch but there is no way that I can find to access it. Does anyone know if there is a forth bolt on the 2007 convert. or is it just a one more plastic pop rivet holding it in place?

 

The door panel design changed in 2005, and you have to remove the armrest to expose the screw. Some pictures here: http://www.gbmini.net/G2/main.php?g2...4332&g2_page=3

 

I want to thank you for the information on the door handle removal...
