64 SPLIT Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 front wings just unbolt from the chassis - think there's three bolts along the top edge one on the front edge and one in the door hinge recess.door aperture seals just pull off - as for the seals on the doors themselves - I'm not sure about the felt-type stuff around the upper door edges.ariel unscrews and then you'll need to drop the rear of the headliner down to access the securing bolt on the underside. simple as thatbest bet would be to get yourself a copy of ELSAWIN.

stealthie Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Dude to do a proper job you need to strip everything off it, the best way to work it out is to take a look at the part and get to it with your tools, I don't think I have ever looked at 'instructions' on how to take bits off like bumpers, wings, seals etc.... do they exist?Just take a look at how the part is held on and undo the fixings, make sure you remember how it goes though so you can fit it back up It's pretty straight forward once you have started stripping it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthie Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 My project thread may help you out a bit. It's not a Gti but most of the bits will fix on the same, take a look as I have put loads of pictures up and you should be able to spot the fixing points on most of the bits and bodywork.My project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
