Yeah, and then when it goes again, you can keep stressing it out.

Or you could just replace the pin.

Stressing what out? Have you tried it? NO.


It's been over a year since I wrote that guide out and the door hasn't dropped again. It takes 5 minutes to do and saves you the hassle of removing the hinges and taking the door off.

Have I tried it?

Yes, on my old Fiesta, the pin gave way on the third go, it eventually dropped again. You can loosen the hinges slightly and then lift the door while someone does them up, better option. :)
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....

Old fiesta....Exactly.

Unless the pins are broken which I doubt it then the guide I wrote is enough. Pin ain't given up on me, door ain't fallen off and I've had no trouble with it.

Fair enough, but all I'm saying is, you are bending something to make it straight, moving the weakest thing into another position, had a hinge go or something, and you replaced it, it could well be out of line.

I suppose I'm a but OTT on things like this though..... :undecided:
