Removing the door panel of a Baojun 730 really tests your patience. I remember spending half a day studying it during my first attempt. You'll need some basic tools: a Phillips screwdriver, plastic pry bars, and it's best to prepare some new clips in case you break any. Start with the screws on the door panel - gently pry open the decorative covers on the door handle and door switch positions, as they conceal screws underneath. Then use the pry bar to slowly release the clips along the door panel edges, being careful not to scratch the plastic parts with metal tools. After completely separating the door panel, remember to disconnect the power window plug first, otherwise forcibly pulling it may damage the wires. Here's the key point - the hinge fixing screws are located at the top and bottom edges of the door. When loosening them with a socket wrench, it's best to have someone support the door, as it's much heavier than you'd expect. During reinstallation, first align the hinge positions, pre-tighten the screws a few turns without locking them completely, adjust the gaps properly, and then fully tighten. Before reinstalling the door panel, ensure all plugs are securely connected, align the clips properly and press firmly until you hear a 'click' to confirm proper seating. DIY can save you hundreds in labor costs, but it's safer to work with a partner.
