Door locking pin snapped.

[TomB 0]

I managed to catch the little black locking pin on my jacket last night snapping it off, so now I can't lock the car from the inside (not that this is really a problem). However, it's a niggle that I'd like to get fixed so does anyone know how easy it is to replace and what bits I'd need to remove? All work would be done on the street, so I might leave it for a month....

Cheers,

Tom

if your on about the door pin (which ithink you are) it just unscrews. try it on the passenger side!!

 

if its snapped off too low down you may have to take your door card off!

My driver's side door pin came off.

Got a rubber gromit and covered it.

Never use it anyway ;)

 

Time spent: 20 seconds.

Money spent: was given the gromit.

 

Shove that in your How-To section and smoke it ;)

Sorry, but just in one of those moods.

 

Something you don't use and/or care about, and you have the choice to spend an afternoon pulling your door apart to fix and no-one would care, or you could just stick a rubber gromit over it, increase the security on your car, and save yourself an afternoon - spend it with the missus instead! She'll like me for saying that... hehe.

 

Hey, you might even get the comment later "hey, you de-pinned your door, that's cool..."

Sounds like a plan. Not like York's the sort of area where you need to lock your doors when driving anyway... :-)
