removing a delocking plate?

[GT_Raven]

just tried to remove the delocking plate fitted to my car and im having no luck it wouldnt budge. am i just not undoing the torx screw enough or could the body shop have glued it on or something?.

Hi, with the barrels its a bit awkward at times, drawing the line between not dropping the screw into the door and unscrewing it enough to remove the barrel.

My Haynes manual said no more than 6 turns, but in reality i could easily do 10 + before the barrel was even loose.

Just try unwinding it slowly and keeping an eye on just how loose it is then prying under the barrel with a small blade ( stanley/thin flathead etc ) very carefully to just pry some movement into it and it will slowly come out.

Hope that helps

Cheers

thought as much , stupid haynes manual mine says "no more than 3 turns or ull lose it in the door trim"
Have put a tiny dent into my door thinking it was loose enough to prise out with a screwdriver

wonder if i can get that fixed really annoys me.


Cheers though mate will try again tommorow
