Sliding door cover/lid - how the hell it come off??
Posted: 21 May 2009, 19:33
As some of you know I'm attacking a slight seam rust issue. I need to get the panel off that covers the sliding door mechanism but the one on the opposite side to the sliding door - I assume they are fixed the same way........
The bit circled in yellow

I've read that you remove the two screws and then it should lift upwards and off. Like hell it does. I've even been giving it a good twatting with a rubber mallet but it won't budge even slightly. Am I missing something? Do you have to swing it outwards and then lift? It has a rubber strip running along the top of it - does that have to come off first? I've doused it in WD40 so it runs behind in the pathetic hope it might help.
It's doing me head in!!!!!!!!!!!!!
