Post by: Redbaron on 13 May 2005, 23:12

Ok, replacing a door on my mk2 3 door and i cannot get it to hang right.

It ALWAYS ends up too low?  :angry:

Anyone got any tips?

yeah loosen off the striker bolt in the doorframe and move it in the relevant direction then tighten it up. i.e. if your door sticks out a bit and is to low move it up and in a bit

Its probably the hing pin is worn, more of a problem with the 3 door as the door is bigger & heavier than the 5 door.  Cheap to buy from VW but a right pain in the arse to replace  :grin:
