gregers Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 opened my passenger rear door this evening and it made a horrendous clank and on further inspection on the door where the retainer attaches itself has completely snapped(i will try and post some pics tommorrow),when you close the door the 2 no bolts that hold the retainer to the door disapear into the door itself. ME THINKS THIS IS GOING TO BE A BLOODY COSTLY REPAIR :lol: any idea as to why it has happened,it gave me no notice that it had seized up at allany cheap repair that can be done?and if i get it welded(if possible)will it be a lasting repair? regards gregers Quote
