    Can someone point me to a link for a "step by step" procedure to get into the doors to fix some locks and lights?

    Thanks!!

    Remove the small screws around the periphery of the door, back and bottom. Remove the nuts/bolts around the arm rest. Lift off the door panel. Open door warning lights are controlled by a switch in the door jam.

    Congradulations and can I suggest you download several GT4 documents including Owners and Workshop manuals. Electrical would be nice. Start at the Aussy site:

    Did all this.
    Didn't want to come off.
    Maybe there is something "catching" that I can't see and will probably end up breaking :/

    Thanks for the links.

    You took the hockey stick shaped molding off over the arm rest to reveal 2 bolts right?

    They push on and pull off, but be very careful or you will break it. Gently get a pry tool in there and lift only right next to the fastener. Don't pull the piece away from the door until all (three?) are free.

    Yes, I believe there's three of them (the photos below show the snap fasteners from the backside). And yes, everything is delicate at this age, especially the hockey stick piece as it's plastic.

    Well, you're a part of the GT4 brotherhood now (or was it a cult? I can't remember...).

    We have our own language.
    We have our own "leader" (Enzo).
    We have our own routines.

    All we are missing is dedicated "uniform" and "food" and we are 100% a cult.

    Could be worse.

    How about we produce a batch of Dino 308GT4 polo shirts. That would take care of the Uniform bit.

    Food is the (CO-rich) air that we breathe. What else does a petrolhead need?

    ;)
