Title: bending door back
Post by: golfmk2boy on 21 April 2006, 17:36

Hi,

A thief with a crowbar  :angry: hurt my golf tuther week.

Not sure what he was after cos there is nowt in there, so he must have wanted to mod my door a little and reshap the beatuiful lines of the driver-side.

Consquently my door sits downwards now.  I tried pushing it upwards to bend it back but this doesnt seem to work.

 :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Its so easy for them!... I spend hours, and then the f**k*rs do what they like in 5 minutes

Bad luck  :sad:  Explain in more detail in which way and where it has been bent, I presume the door is down at the latch end? When you shut the door does it straighten up a bit as it catches on the latch. Is the door unit actually bent?  :smiley:

if your door drops then stick a piece of wood between the door and the bottom hinge. now firmly close the door and this should raise it :smiley:

Its bent..... it still closes however water can get through now.

It slopes downwards near the handle side, also my door handle is f**ked.

I need a new one if anyone has one spare??

try loosening the door catch pin in the door jamb and moving it up a bit, if its only dropped down but not bent outwards this should fix it I think.
