Help - Door Lock Broken (63MY Karmann Ghia)
phaeton - August 25th, 2008 at 01:29 PM

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 ?

Its fixed :D

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.
