As of this morning my door won't shut.

My door lock is broken and I can't find parts 🙁

Does the KG share locks with the Beetle by any chance ?

Thanks in Advance for any tips/advice etc 😉

Its fixed 😀

Turned out to be a broken spring on the inside of the door.

I seriously hope I never have to look for a lock as I've learnt today it is a hard part to find.
