This is the next job I want to do on the car and I've just had a look and the bar goes into the hole in the door, but there's nothing there to hold the bar. Drivers door by the way.
   I can feel metal round the edges of the hole inside, but there are no screw holes above or below this hole, so how does it fit please? what do I need to replace exactly?

TIA
Ken

Someones gonna say "the door" aren't they

You can get a repair kit from Vx for the door. The mechanism bolts through the door on the hinge edge, sounds like your mechanism has collapsed, let me know if you need one or pictures as I have one (passenger side) out already

Some pictures would be helpful to start, thanks.  Are the mechanisms the same on passenger door as drivers door?

In those pic's the black plates bolt to the silver part inside the door, none of this is there on mine, just the hole in the door edge, nothing inside to bolt to.

so thats the mechanism, but what does it bolt to? as said on mine there's just a big hole, as if a plate is missing that this unit bolts to just inside the hole in the door. maybe it's irrepairable? broken in the door?

[Ken L]

Wouldn't surprise me if all this mechanism was still inside the door!

Probably disassembled itself iside the door. The hole is what it attaches to.... Should be a square hole with 2 slots up and down. Looking at my pic... take the 2 bolts out, push the bar through door from inside then refit bolts through door skin and tighten. That holds it in place.

If you look at the bottom pick in the link RobG posted you can see the two bolts in place inside the hole in the door edge, I only have the hole in the door edge, nothing these bolts would bolt to, if you see what I mean, so there must be another plate with the slotted holes you mention missing from inside the door.

Yes seen this, it's whats actually inside the door that missing, is it a part factory fitted to the door that can't be replaced that the internal mechanism bolts to that's broken of? or does the missing plate bolt inside the door somewhere?
 Need a pic inside the door I think.
