Correct. Pull the top of the vert panel forward after the clips are removed. Then lift it out.Originally Posted by Bitsyncmaster
Keep track of which clip goes where as you remove them. The outer pair and inner pair of clips are different lengths. Mixing them up makes installation a lot harder than it needs to be.

Does anyone have a video on how to adjust the door locks and door latches? Even how to check them?

At the risk of sounding stupid, I am confused which rod is which. I need an idiot proof video?..

You could start with this one - https://youtu.be/92JJQG57t1s?si=Ys8AVqEgSFmE_df5
Martin explains a common latch/lock issue and how to diagnose it. If the front or rear lock isn?t in neutral then its latch won?t release.
And there?s this door mechanisms overview video from Stephen Wynne to see what goes on in there.
It?s not a video but the door latch/lock adj procedure in the Workshop Manual explains everything. P:02:11-12 including illustrations for all adjustments.
It?s also covered in Service Bulletin ST-10-8/81 within this doc from the Forum resources page,
