Driver side door sagging
Blue65 - February 17th, 2011 at 10:52 PM

Hi. I'm having trouble closing my right hand (drivers) door.

Not sure how to fix it.

Just adjust it.

If you cant adjust it, check if the hinge pins are worn and recondition the hinges and go from there.

adjust the striker plate on the B piller

or as above

or worse the hinge broken off inside the door

You could just get new hinges, they aren't that expensive. Joel did a DIY on how to replace them.

Do you have the link for Joel's DIY ?

And where can I buy new hinges? Good ones?

Is there a VW shop in Victoria which stocks the parts - I know that VW used to make Beetles in Clayton.
