How easy is it to swap a Mk2 drivers side wing?
Hoping to drive down to someone who is breaking a Mk2 ZS, and swap my wing ..... I can't find a "how to" link :(
How easy is the job What tools are needed Any piccies? Cheers |
It took me about an hour, there are 5 bolts on the top edge, one hidden under the wing liner close to the front of the while arch, 2 visible down the door shut and one at the bottom behind the sill cover.
The one under the arch can be reached with a extension on your socket by bending the liner down, there is no need to remove the liner The one under the sill cover with a ring spanner after levering the sill cover out a bit, personally I didn't replace it. All bolts are 10mm. |
now got the wing .... saw what I need to do from the donors car - he told me he had to take the sill off and in doing so he broke a number of the sill clips - where the metal bracket was connected to the plastic ..... anyone got a link to a "sill not off" picture please?

No picture as it just looks like it is.
You need to lever it out enough to get a ring spanner in, you have to do it by feel. Use the other wing to guide you to where the bolt is. I didn't bother refitting that bolt, the sill hold place. |
