Does anyone no how to adjust the drivers door? Just put a new one on but it's sitting proud. I've moved the lock on the pillar but doesn't seem to make any diffrence! Also both widows no longer work. Any ideas?

I used to loosen the bolts a little bit (on the hinges), close the door and open it again. That usually made it sit better and then i could do the bolts up. Did both windows work before you replaced the door? ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

I tried adjusting a door on my old 6 and in the end I lost my rag with it. It was a replacement door after getting broken into in Spain and the new one just never fitted right. Whatever I did it always had a very slight wind noise coming in....I traded the car in soon after  ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

Mine was the same.Makes it a lot easier. Btw do you know the trick for swapping the locks? Could save you twenty minutes at least Btw if both windows no longer work then the drivers switch cable is loose or the reg isnt plugged in proper. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Basically for the locks get a wood screw about 3 inches longLook at the door near the lock where it catches on the shell ( as you look at the barrel follow it around the edge of the door )and theres a small rubber bung . Pull this out and carefully put the screw in until it makes contact with metal. Turn the screw a few turns with a screw driver and it will catch in the clip holding the lock in place Pull the screw and you will feel it unclip. You can then turn the lock barrel 180 degrees (it should be very loose) to the right, pop the old lock in and then push the screw until it clips the barrel back in place undo the screw Refit bung Jobs a good un ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

You will probably find that where you have removed your original door you have disturbed the wiring harness between the body and door ie the bit you unscrew from the door.
