Baojun 730 door panel removal method: 1. Remove the panel in the triangular area inside the door, which is located at the upper left corner of the door interior; 2. There is a small clip inside the triangular area. After removing the clip, unscrew the fixing screw on the handle; 3. Starting from the lower front or rear corner of the front door, pry up all 7 clips of the front door trim panel one by one; 4. Then you can use tools to remove the door panel. The door is an important part of the car, and the sealing of the door determines the overall quality of the car. The gaps on both sides of the car door are relatively smooth, and the sizes on both sides are symmetrical. If there is a problem with the installation of the door, it may cause the door to be uneven. If there is an installation problem, repeated opening and closing of the door can cause deformation of the rubber strips on both sides of the door, which will result in poor sealing of the door. In severe cases, water leakage may occur.
I've taken apart the Baojun 730's door panels several times, mainly for audio upgrades and soundproofing. First, gather tools: prepare a flathead screwdriver and plastic pry tools to avoid scratching the interior. The door panel is secured with clips around the edges—usually start gently prying from the bottom corner and gradually work upward to release the clips. There might be hidden screws near the door handle; lift the small cover and remove them with the screwdriver. Be careful with the window switch—disconnect the wiring harness before proceeding. Don't yank the panel after removal, as it's still connected by cables or wiring. I recommend taking photos during disassembly to avoid misalignment during reassembly. Take your time and be patient—forcing it may break the clips, requiring replacements. After removal, inspect the wiring and clean the door interior. When reinstalling, just align and press the clips back into place.
When I disassembled the door panel myself, I realized safety is crucial, especially to avoid accidental electric shocks. The Baojun 730 has electronic components, so before starting, turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure the battery is disconnected. There are plastic clips on the inner side of the door panel—use a specialized prying tool to gently pry them open, avoiding metal tools that could scratch the leather. Be careful not to touch the window glass lifting track during disassembly, as it may damage the mechanism. Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands. I’ve encountered broken clips before, so having some replacements on hand is safer. After removal, it’s advisable to check the door lock mechanism, as looseness can affect operation. Bring all necessary tools: plastic clip removers, a Phillips screwdriver, and a cloth for dust cleaning. Avoid forcing anything—work gently, as the door panel material can deform easily. The whole process takes about 20 minutes and becomes smoother with practice.
