Changing the hab door inner skin

[campervanannie]

So I bought off eBay a hab door inner skin for a Rapido in much better condition than mine taking one off and putting the other one on looks straight forward on paper so my questions are has anyone done this and is there anything hidden inside the door that could cause a problem.

I can't find much online Annie apart from on another site.

The only info the owner gave was as follows;

"I had to replace the full mechanism on mine as the internal handle had snapped,which means removing the internal panel, not a difficult job but fiddly.
Got my parts direct from Happich U.K."

He doesn't mention any details though.

I'll have another look later.

Maybe grease the lock mechanism while you are at it

Things like that are usually snap together push fit type , have a good luck at the replacement panel for clues should help ,

Thanks Ken, but we're in Norfolk now.
Removed all the fixing screws but found parts of the inner plastic skin were bonded to the main door. We have no adhesive with us and I was reluctant to force it off and find we were unable to attach the new skin properly. Annie will get her moho chappie to do the job when she gets home.
