Recommended Posts

Just installed new doors from a CD into my sportif, oh yeah lekky winows and central locking!

But getting the doors to sit right is a cunt.

That job is a right dick to get right. My advice would be to loosen the bolts slightly then use a hydraulic jack to gently lift the corner of the open door up.

Then while the door's being supported by the jack, tighten the bolts back up. Once you take the jack away, be careful closing the door until you're sure the catch lines up right, or else you'll put a dent in the thing!

Keeping playing as required and make sure you don't put the wing back on until you're certain everything lines up ok :)
