Passenger door not locking
« on: February 19, 2021, 01:01:30 pm »
I've seen a couple of posts about passenger doors not locking when pressing the remote central locking key button, but I haven't seen anything about how to remove the door panel(s) to fix the issue. Looking at the door panel, there needs to be a hex/torx/star piece to remove the bolts/screws - which piece do I need, and where can I get it from?

Thanks in advance 👍 😁

Here’s the link to the how to guide

Tools are standard torx you can get at any hardware store like B&Q or just get it on eBay or Amazon. If you had a tool set then they’re usually torx bits in those.

Nice one. Thank you 👍

Looks like I need a 12 spline tool to get it sorted properly 🙈

No harm in extending the amount of tools I have! 😂
