Repair notes

First remove the door trim panel (driver's door side) in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Place the unlocking wire in the correct installation position and fix it securely with a cable tie. (see photo)

Carry out a visual inspection of the entire unlocking mechanism and repair if necessary.

Reassemble the door trim panel in reverse order to its dismantling.

Finally, a functional test of the repair work should be carried out.
