607 door trim removal

[Phil Reid]

Just bought a 2001 607 and have problems with the front passenger electric window (seems a common problem!).

I want to remove the door trim to have a look, and can lever out the lower trim poppers. However, I can't make out how to release the top half of the door trim.

Seems stupid I know, but can anybody help? I just don't want to damage the trim.

Thanks...

Hi Phil,

its very easy...

Step 1

take screw out from the window switch, there is a wee cover (penny size) take that off which will give you the access to the screw... the wooden or the carbon trim can come off a sharp flat screw driver (it unclips) there are loops at the bottom half of the door trim, once you take that off, move the trim up a wee bit and it will come off.. remember to take the wires off from the seat memory button again that simply clips off..

let me know if you need help mate..

took me 30 mins to change my window regulator..

cool.. its very easy.. let me know if you get stuck somewhere

remember if you are doing something to window regulator, you may need to drill out the three rivets on the door opening level/handle..

Well the window failed because the plastic slider clip that the cable fits into has split in two. Window now supported by the traditional piece of wood (surprised that Peugeot don't sell them as accessories!).

Surprise, surprise! Can't buy just the plastic clip, but have to replace the whole unit (£208.87!). I'm desperately trying to find out who the OEM of the part is, but it has stamped on it is 'POM', with no reference number.

If I succeed, I'll keep you posted.

I had this aswell mate... its common.. you can get a replacement one for about £40 max... btw the 807 and 407 ones are the same...

there are few folks breaking 607's on ebay.. give them a wee call Im sure you will get one.. nothing to worry about..

remember the door handle things in now screwed but is rivetted, you need to drill it out so keep in mind to buy a rivet thing from b&q its for about £4.99 with 10 rivetts..

if you need any help, give me a shout..
