Abstract

A motor vehicle door with a door frame (1) and with an outside door panel (2) which can be attached to the door frame (1). The door frame (1) has an undercut guide groove (10) on a first edge and on a second edge which is roughly opposite the first edge. The outside door panel (2), on its first and second edge, has undercut guide rails (12) which fit into the guide grooves (10). The door frame (1) on a third edge which runs roughly transversely to the first and second edge has a retaining groove and on the fourth edge roughly opposite the third edge has a catch groove. The outside door panel (2) on the third edge has a retaining rail which fits into the retaining groove and on the fourth edge has a catch rail which fits into the catch groove. The outside door panel (2) with the guide rails (12) can be pushed into the guide grooves (10) on the door frame (1) in the longitudinal direction until the retaining rail has entered the retaining groove and the catch rail has engaged the catch groove.
