It's actually pretty straightforward if you pull the outer door skin
off ... having done four of them now, I have the job down to about 60
minutes per side. A while back, Al Powell wrote up the procedure
involved and it's in the q-list archives somewhere ... worth looking
up if you've never done this job before.
Right! And trying to do this repair WITHOUT removing the interior
door section is frustrating and pointless. Faster to do it right.
For the procedure and notes on indexing the lock and link, check my
Car Hobby pages linked to my home page at the address below. The
procedure is in the FAQ section on the Audi page.
