Hi, I need to change the drivers door catch (the small bit attached to the body) because the plastic sleeve has dropped off.
I know you can loosen them to adjust but if I undo it all the way will the nut drop off the back, or is it captive?  :undecided:

It's captive, mark with a pencil the old one before removing..

Where can you buy new ones from?

VW reckon they no longer keep them.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
