Default What do you mean by door locks?

The thing on the door jamb or where the key goes in?

Are you changing colors of the car? If not, why remove this?

Default Re: What do you mean by door locks?

I was thinking that when my car goes for painting, it should be without bumbers, back lights, front lights, everything away so painting is easier and will be better, paint will not get off from around door locksystem, much easier to clean old one. Colour will be little more dark green. What do you mean if i dont change colour, why remove it. Ofcourse paint is much better in that area when its not there..

Default might be apples and oranges but I just had to do this on my BMW. Had to remove the door panel

to get at what holds the lock/handle assembly in place.
