"It took me 20 minutes to do the first one and about 10 to do each of the others. This looks MUCH better and I am happy not to have the fear of salty water running into the doors this Winter. My 1988 Volvo 240 is looking really good after some TLC this year. It runs really well too." C.R., Peterborough, NH.

    INNER SCRAPER GUIDANCE
"I'm restoring a 1992 240 wagon.  I took the door panels down to my basement and experimented on one of the rear doors.  I tried to lift the scraper clip 'keepers' with a ⅛ inch slot screwdriver blade on the existing scraper.  The shaft for such a screwdriver is insufficiently stiff; it will not lift the clip's keeper sufficiently.  I then tried a 3/16 inch blade which, when inserted at a 45° angle to the axis of the scraper, then twisted roughly 30°, raised the keeper just sufficiently for the scraper 'rail' to be shifted a little out of its seat.  The upward shifting action applied to the scraper is performed with a second, ¼ inch slot screwdriver inserted ¾ inch to the inside of the clip (i.e. away from the panel edges) and under the edge of the old scraper.  This is done as the keeper is raised.  Starting at one end, these two actions done simultaneously, permit the old scraper to be 'worried' out a little.  Start with one of the end clips.  After the scraper 'budges' a little, move to the next clip and repeat.  Go back to the first and repeat; go back to the second clip and repeat, then to the third.  Then back to the first, the second the third and now the fourth." 
    "In this way, work along the length of the scraper.  It will 'pop' out of the first clip first, then the second, etc.  Remember, the old scraper is to be discarded, so you don't have to be gentle with it.  As you mention in your instructions, one does have to be gentle with the clips."
        "The first panel did indeed take me 15 minutes to remove the scraper.  The other three: 3 minutes each."
    "Installation of the new inner scrapers takes 60 seconds.  Correctly position the part, then push the middle of it into the middle clip, with the thumbs and forefingers of both hands.  It's very quick. Once the scraper has been engaged by each of the clips, re-push it into each clip a second and third time, each time beginning from the middle, until it is visibly seated at the bottom of each clip.  This is the factory method of installation, and its simplicity is the reason why removal is such a pain."
    "Door panels 2 and 3 took a total of 5 minutes each.  Door panel 4 took 3:30.  Hope this is useful."
