in the US we didn't get these, I don't know what holds the top pivot in place.
on the older US doors,
remove the nut under the window shown in your pic. you need to remove the top hinge, on the old US doors there were 2 screws to remove, then tip the top of the window out and slide the bolt out of the lower door.

There is minuscule screw at the top under the weatherstripping. You also have to pretty much have everything out of the large window first. Tthere is also a bolt that holds the vent window channel in which is also the channel. You might be able to just pivot the Channel at the bottom toward the Hinge of the door. The screw at the top under the weatherstrip is the key.

In case there’s anything else you’d like to know about your doors, @lostmarbles has the best thread on the topic I know of. Unfortunately the blue 40 was totalled… Tom was not.

Tackling the doors

Of all the work I've ever done on my BJ40, "refurbishing the doors" has been the most time-consuming. I'm putting together this thread on the subject because I don't see much info here on MUD about it and I want to help others who may be planning to embark on similar work. (I'm not saying my...
