front doors refuse to stay open
Hello


Both Passenger and driver doors refuse now to stay open, so as I climb in the door shuts on my leg Big Cry

It's a TDCi and I think these are the bolts I need to tighten? is this correct. I guess these are hidden on my version and a pain to access?

They're the bolts. I think i did them on my Puma, i don't remember them being difficult to get at mind you.

Without looking i can't remember how i did it. Either i just put a spanner up from underneath or undid the screws at the end of the dash and pulled it away from the bulkhead a bit - don't be shy with it, it's quite flexible.

^ Did it last night


There is a little torx screw a bit higher up on the plastic which I loosened off to make bending the plastic back easier to fit a screw driver socket in.

Both sides very lose Smile


Easy fix Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I think i put some thread lock on mine as they always work loose again over time.
