door availability

Post by Bullifamilie »

well my week was going well until I didn't put the handbrake on properly, the syncro and trailer rolled back, the drivers door was open, that got caught on my DOKA, the trailer went thru the garage door and my toolboxes brought the whole thing to a rest.

On the positive side the T5 and Golf were missed

The Insurance company are dealing with it, I got a few spare doors but just wondering if new doors are available?

oops....

I would think a call to your local VW dealer may help.. you never know.. in a dusty warehouse somewhere there might be a new one...

But.. if you have or can get a nice rust free original second hand one.. whats the difference.. would still have to paint it and apply the graffic... even if it was new...

Yeah, I've got spare doors myself, just the genius at the insurance company (no clue about anything) reckonned a new door would be easy to get and if not they might choose not to repair it and to write the vehicle off, that seems extreme.

I need to wait for the accessor and garage to have a look (someone who actually knows what they are talking about).

Would be nice to get the van and the cash from the insurance company.

The new door arrangement is great for access, just not so good for using the mirror!
