Good information there about the suction cups, I have the nearside rear to do in the next few weeks and the windows are factory tinted, will be using these instead of duct tape

Hi
Must admit struggled like hell with tape so that’s why I thought of the suction cups, single ones are better because the double ones don’t curve the same as the door glass does
If I may say , Need at least 2x suction cups, so at least if u take one off to reposition it the window won’t drop
Sorry to hear about the tint coming off , hopefully the suction cups won’t cause any damage like the tape does
Glad it’s been of help and makes life easier
Hope all goes well

Massive thanks for this write up and the wiki - just managed to do my drivers side rear door following this helpful guide.
Bizarrely, I found this not as fiddly as I expected - but then again, having owned a D1 previously and played around with all the door locks on that thing this was a doddle!
Only took around an hour in the wet.
Thanks!

Did the job
Good write up, followed it exactly for rear door. Silver covers were a worry but how to has been added on another link so that was great.
Top tip
Refitting the wire for the door handle pull to the lock is very tricky, I used some string around the lock cable being pulled from through the latch slot in the door to help me achieve the angles to refit the little silver turnbuckle.Discovery 4 3.0 HSE 2010 year. I like it a lot. Now with winch 😂

Hi,
I am trying to remove the driver's side window motor. The door latch is fine, it's just the window that won't open. When I push the button, I hear a bit of a click in the motor and that's it. Nothing is moving.
So my problem is, the window won't open, so I can't lower it 5" as suggested.
Is it even necessary to remove the whole window opening mechanism to replace the motor only?
Can anybody point me in the right direction please?
Cheers,
Michel

Update..
I got the window motor off and when I operate the switch, the motor always rotates in the same direction!
So if I push the switch down, the window goes up, same as when I pull the switch up. Seems like there is something wrong with the switch then, not the motor?

Thanks for the guide. Just did the driver door in record time.
Must have done almost every door over the last 10 years.
Stupid design that periodically fails with wear and tear.

Hi - I have a similar problem where my passenger door doesn’t unlock with the fob. It does open via keyless if I am stood hear it, and if I manually pull the handle inside.
Might this be the actuator still? Or something else?
Thanks!

Done this job this morning in just a few more than one hour. It's an easy job when you know exactly how to proceed (thanks to Iain G and Powerfulukltd videos).
I've just maintained the glass in place with a suction cup and secured with tape. I've not removed the glass mechanism but just slide it on side to get enough room.
My only regret is to have tried to remove the outside door handle. It was totally useless (except if you have sausage fingers) but I've broken the clips of the end cover
