panel seems to have slipped or come off an internal clip and now wobbles from rubber strip down to panel when closing door.  pop into dealer or is it a diy fix ? thanks

Dunno but mine has a screw missing from when it was resprayed (I didn't notice for about a month!).

Anybody know what screw goes in the top left corner of the drivers door?

id say take it to the dealer and at a guess they`ll prob send it to the body shop so make sure there a good body shop. oh and is it still under warranty?  they should be made to sort it if its not imo

yep the car's a year old and has just come back from dealer after insurance respray

yes they are bolted on, which can lead to the of the mis-alignment experienced by some. My first Gti was terrible, think its one of the things they've changed with the mk6 to reduce production times and cost
