Help Please: Cab doors swing open and strain against catch
As this is my first camper im hoping this is not usual and i can do something so the door opens a bit nicer rather then swinging out at 100 miles an hr?
please help as i would like to sort this out.
Otherwise i think they will snap the catches off.

that looks like the part mm is talking about, not clear to me from Vagcat if it's fitted inside or outside?

It's fitted inside the door, on the back of the door check strap, you need to remove the door panel to get to it HTH.
P.S. must fix mine too, better order one quickly before they are out of stock

Ok so can't see that bit of foam anywhere, glad I didn't blindly buy one
turns out the door has been pushed back hard and stretched the tie and bent the stop holder, this means the tie is narrower so does not 'click' through the rubber bushes and because of that it's longer so door hits the body.
bent it back to a shape that I think it should be and it's a lot better, does not hit the body and stops as it should with resistance before moving to the final stage
I think I need a new one though as it's very tired, anyone know who stocks it?
