Elan S3 door weight

PostPost by: stevebroad » Sat Apr 11, 2020 8:51 pm

Hi

Is anyone in a position to weigh a complete S3/S4 door for me? Door, glass, frame, motor, furniture, etc.

Or does anyone already know the answer?

Thanks in advance.

I have an empty door shell (don't we all? :-)). It weighs 11 lbs. Hopefully somebody else can report the frame, glass & motor weight.

I'll give a couple of days for someone to respond w/ a complete door, before I try to help. The windows glass is still in the frames, and I can add the door handles window motor and interior panel (door card), and that should get you close. Do you want the aluminum kick plates or is yours the later carpet fitted door panel?
