I’m looking for a PDF of the shop manual for MCS covering the removal and reinstall of the door panels. I want to have the oval inset of each door either recovered or dyed to match my seats. I know this process can’t be difficult to figure out, I’ve taken a number of doors apart. Being a new car of which I’ve never taken apart in any respect I’d like this material to reference. If you can help, please email this document to me at stuartwelsh@mac.com. I use a mac but I shouldn’t anticipate problems with a PC document in PDF form, right??? Thanks for your help.

If there is any one in Dallas aware of a quality shop that can either dye or recover this section of door panel, I’d appreciate recommendations.

My neighbor took his door off, and one thing I noted: there is a screw hiding under the door refelctor!

 

Stuart,

I've been looking for same. No luck yet. This lack of a workshop / Bentley / Haynes manual is simply unacceptable. Its really beginning to become a sore point of MINI ownership. And no, I'm not shelling out $300 for a cd version, THAT IS OBSCENE!

The door panel is held on by 4 torx screws. Refer to the following of removal instructions:

Be forewarned that the door panel is all one piece, with the center door bezel heat welded to the rest of the panel
