#1: My passenger door is broken :( Author: Keisha206, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Thu Jun 16, 2011 2:02 am ---- Since i got the car, the passenger door has had no "clip" to stop it from swinging open. When i was parked on my bf's drive the other night (on a slight slope) we left the door open for a while and it became 'stuck' behind the front wheel arch panel. managed to "wiggle" it free but now if you open the passenger door fully you have to "wiggle" it shut again, is my door going to need to be rehung?

should take 5 mins if you have the door card off. and if the bolts don't get cross threaded like mine had to drill the buggers off. at lease i found out how to take the door on and off again.
need to remove door card
then undo 2 bolts and remove strap
then apply a little grease to new one and use old bolts to re fit.
i think the part was about a tenner from pug dealer.
