funbus Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I'm looking at picking up a 99 v plate tdi ghia for my sister, she has her 3rd kiddy on the way so needs a bus! The one I have in mind is great apart from the fact that the driver door retainer thing is shot, so the door swings open/shut unaided. It seems to be the bar retainer thing is just worn out (I don't know the proper name for it can u tell). I'm guessing the door panel needs taking off to get to the innards, and then just bolt a new one in. Anyone had any experience of this please, or can offer any advice etc?? Thanks in advance. Quote
Guest 3.5bullet Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 apart from the need to remove the door card! it's an easy enough job, cut the cable tie holding the rubber shield in place, and remove it, then undo the fixing inside the door, then the two on the A post the door strap will now fall off :( reverse the procedure to fit the new one and then replace the door card after you have replaced all the clips you broke getting it off :) it only took me ten minutes to do mine B) mind you i just removed the after market speaker from the door card and worked through the hole :D Quote
