Post by Tom bailey »

hi, i have recently put my trim panels back into to my 340 after i carried out some work on her and i have noticed that even though i have attached it via the nut and the plastic screw thingy (technical name for it ) :P the panel is still loose and you can put your hands behind it. is there a technique to fitting the panel ?any help appreciated :)

Did you get the door seal out of the way so that it could clip back in? I think it also joins onto the boot panels but my memory is a bit hazy. Sorry haven't worked that much on 3 doors.
