It's usually the check starp having pulled throughthe door skin, so you need to sandwich what's left of your door skin with 2 of the repair plates.

Vx do a repair kit for this -- I used a couple of penny washers either side of the split -- works a treat.

His problem is with the back door if I read correct, and the system is different than in the front... No idea of the repair though...  :-X
