Hi to everyone.

I am helping a mate replace a damaged front door offside, what do we need to do this? Are there any special tools to remove the hinge pin and the locking pin on the hinge??

 

Thanks

do you have a mk1 or mk2

 

on the mk2 there is a door card clips removal tool

 

very easy to take off,had my cards off loads of times

 

just buy some spare door card clips,as the old ones will be no good once there out

 

good luck

IIRC its not as simple as pulling off the door and mounting another, I think the hinges need individually welding into place :) so wht are you replacing with - if new problably doesn't have hinges if secondhand the hinge may not be in quite the same place

still he knows how to do the door card also :) ;)

 

true :D :D

 

never done it on a galaxy but should be straighforward as nik says dont slam it when fitted it will need re-aligning, and i bet there heavy

Hi guys.

Thanks for the replies.

It's an X reg vehicle.

 

The door was bought on Ebay secondhand so the hinges are welded. On the top hinge there's an odd shaped pin which goes into the hinge pin, how do I get this out? Does it screw out or just pull??

 

Cheers

No - no complicted procedure, just unbolt the hinge pins and lift the door off, official procedure is as below:-

The hinge pin stays with the door (or the mounting can't remember which but you DON'T remove the hinge pins), you do need the hex driver that fits the hinge locking pins though, about

Hi all

 

had my door off too (as per my other post re wiring problem)

On re-attaching the door the door strap (thing for stopping door opening too far) will not extend far enough to re-attached - what have I got wrong ? How do I release this it feels as though it caught inside the door

Owww, you got me all excited then, thought my door card removal would be needed, oh well, i guess i will go back in my box :lol:

Thank you, great instructions and worked a treat.

I've followed the procedure but just can't get the door to go down low enough. The pins are sitting about an eighth of an inch too high. Ive tried the trusty hammer but it just wont go down. The original door came of easy enough and I've had to put it back on and it just dropped into place.

Did they change anything , 're the diameter of the pins or the hinge it fits in to? I really can't see any difference so maybe I am missing something. Any advice would be appreciated.

It's a 2006 vw Sharon and the replacement door is off a 2005 model, thanks
