Ford Galaxy Door Panel Removal

This guide talks through removal of the rear quarter panel 'door' cards. The procedure is largely the same for both sides with a few subtle differences:The panels are held in place by a number of screws, clips and adjacent panels. If both panels are to be removed then the rear tailgate lock panel should be removed, if only one side is to be removed then the panel can be lifted slightly on that side if preferred. The chrome and plastic panels are both fixed the same way by plastic plugs. The plugs are the same fixings that hold the main door cards in place but instead of 'locking' into position, they are used in a compression state instead. A trim removal tool is useful here but if not the panel can simply be pulled up with care. If you have the metal panel then extra care must be taken not to bend it!On the bottom of the panel a large plastic screw can be found, one on the N/S card and two on the O/S card.

These simply unscrew but may need a small flat blade to act as a lever to assist!The seatbelt mount can now be undone, prise off the rubber cap and then undo the bolt.

If a CD changer is attached then this must be disconnected and the cable passed back through the grommet. On some models a further single screw is used inside the rear lower storage panel.The C and D pillar trim covers are next to come off, the C pillar trim has a single screw at the bottom which must be removed:The seatbelt upper mountings can now be removed, the plastic cover unclips and lifts up (Green arrow) to allow access to the bolt.

Again, earlier cars have a regular bolt, later car's require the spline tool. 03 Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI 115 Ghia in Spruce Green MetallicWith cream leather interior, Full Bodykit, Remapped at 145bhp, Lowered on 18's06 VW EOS 2.0 T-FSI 210 Sport in Deep Black PearlWith red leather interior with full Caractere bodykit, Remapped at 255bhp and sitting on 19's14 VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 177 R-Line in Deep Black PearlWith black leather interior, panoramic sunroof and bi-xenon headlights.08 Ford Transit 2.2 TDI 115 in Frozen WhiteWith retrofitted everything except another slidey door!VCDS HEX/CAN - Scans/Coding done in Wiltshire in exchange for winegums!
