Passenger Door - crack of doom !
« on: 01 August 2007, 17:04:07 »
Before I became an OOF, the drivers door had the crack of doom. I fixed that after a fashion after stripping the door down.

I recall somewhere on the forum advice on what to do if the strap hasn't yet parted company with the door. Despite regular greasing, the passenger front door is now reluctant to open past halfway.

Can anyone give me advice on what to do please or point me to the right place on the forum? Searching FAQ's and maintenance guides on dial up at 44k is not wonderful.

Olive, sure it's on the forum somewhere, sorry can't find it...  Had my door tear with this problem..  I advise that you remove it, clean regrease and refit it, get a new bush for it.. 18p in UK or there abouts... If you door is torn, VX /Opel do a repair brace thingy, sorry don't know the part number, they come as a pair to my knowledge...  didn't know that they did these when mine tore,  had already commisioned a mate to make some...  couldn't believe it when I saw the VX part, they matched mine exactly...
