But what is the point of installing the new door on a old assembly? It's so much easier to swap the door assembly as one complete piece.

Quite simple - to swap the door assembly is bound to take longer, whereas to swap the door only should take a minute - of course provided it's possible. Also, Hector - why bother if it's the same part, the same product, the same assembly - just one part is gone?

The question was about the pins the door is secured on:



So I attempted to pry the door off them pins but couldn't do from the first try. How should I proceed?

You open the door about 45 degrees, the push in really hard. Then, the door will come off. Be careful because a black plastic cam and spring will fly out.

Finally! Thanks a lot. Also, to put it back - should I do the same, i.e. open it 45 degrees and try to push it in?

Thanks! Wait, the black cam and the spring are still in place in my existing assembly...

Well the one I have (eh hem, the very first one on a Contour ) had the cam and spring always wanting to fly out. Maybe they updated it since April 2001.
