Alan W says:

At 0.30 there should be two rivets there, someone didn't put it back last time, because it hard to put it back, Don't need to remove those rivets before remove the carrier panel, it will hard to put it back, I remove the carrier panel with the door lock all at once, first on rear door if fitted 1/4 window or wagon, you need to remove the short window's rail that fit front of the door lock, then remove the lock bolts and then you can remove the all out a little to easy remove the cable that from the outer handle to the door lock ,then can out at once.some models need to remove outer door handle at once.
after out ,then can remove and install the rivets easy., front door is easy because no window's rail there, Sorry you can't just show how to remove, that because install is different way to do,Hope this help!

Heya, any chance you might do a Eurovan power regulator removal. Kinda problematic. Rock Auto does have a rebuild service (rather than $500) Isuue for us in the shade is getting the cable type out.
