I took my bottom S Line door blades off earlier to check for anything nasty and clean the hidden area.
3 came off very easily but the driver door one was a sod, there's metal strengthening bars inside the blades and mine had rusted so the bar had layered / swollen up it turned out.
Bit like the third one down on this pic, only mine was actually a ***** sight worse.
Cleaned everything and the driver door one was tricky to slide back on, so sprayed a little bit of silicone on the back of the blade and she slid in a lot better.
You know when you think "Hmmm, why did I bother?" it was a bit like that, but good to clean behind there, and nothing funky on the doors to report which was the main reason for removal, just thick with grime. Pins all ok.
Two tiny screws on the bottom corners of the inside of the doors and slide the blade (gently) towards the back of the car.
These things are pretty solid and I thought they were surprisingly heavy for what they are.
I expected cheap flimsy things,...which these certainly are not.
Here's the video which inspired me!
