Microfibre cloths Remove the screws (x3) holding the wing mirror mount cover (Picture 4 left). The interior trim of your vehicle, even though is exquisitely made, can easily be damaged. When removing parts, use the microfiber cloths to prevent damage by using them as a protective barrier between components. Installation Please read the entire manual before attempting to install the carbon fibre parts or disassembling the vehicle. Lower the window before starting work. Open the door and remove the bolts (x2) securing door handle assembly to the door panel using the 5mm hex key (see picture 1 left). Remove bolts (x6) securing trimboard to door frame. The screws surround the trimboard with 4 underneath and two at the top (Picture 5 left). Please note, there are screws under the leading edge of the leather top and in toe round air duct near to it. These screws can be seem in the previous picture (4) left. Raise trimboard out at the bottom to get to the multiplugs behind. Disconnect multiplugs (x2). One multiplug is for the puddle light, the other is for the electric window switch. TIP PROTECT YOUR TRIMBOARD LEATHER FROM THE CARBON DOOR HANDLE ON dbs CARS WITH A MICROFIBRE CLOTH. Remove door handle trim plate, disconnect door catch inner release cable from handle and outer cable from retaining plate (Picture 2 left). Remove handle assembly. Remove the leather covered panel at the outer end of the door capping and remove the screw under it (Picture 3 left). Raise trimboard out at the bottom and lift up to release from door frame clips. When replacing the trimboard on the door frame, you will need to hang the trimboard on the three upright (Picture 10 left). Lay the trimboard on the microfiber cloths with the reverse side facing up (picture 7 left). It is extremely difficult to correctly hang the trimboard on these three tangs and lower the trimboard in position unless the window has been lowered as explained at the start of this instructional booklet. Examine the trimboard and you will see a number of screws (6 off) with posidrive heads along the top. Reassembly is very much the removal in reverse order, however the reconnection of the multiplugs should be the first job before replacing any screws. Remove the posidrive screws along the top only which will release the leather part from the top of the trimboard. TIP Do not tighten the screws down immediately. Due to alignment of a hand built vehicle, it is strongly advised to place ALL the screws in a few threads before going back and tightening them all up. Do not remove the lower screws from the top of the trimboard or the speaker grille screws. They are not required to fit the carbon cap. TIP The carbon fibre door handle has sharp edges which can damage the leather of your trimboard. Make sure you use the microfiber cloths to defend the leather from the door handle whilst you refit the cable release. Gently release the leather door capping from the trimboard by prising it upwards as shown in picture 9 left. Stand the trimboard upright and place the carbon door capping on the top of the door trimboard in the place where you removed the leather one from. Divinatech Ltd It is wise to place one or two screws back in at the front and back to lightly secure the new carbon door capping. 15 Bentley court, Paterson rd, Wellingborough, Northants, NN8 4BQ UK. Gently lie the trimboard back on the microfiber cloths and replace all the posidrive screws.
