Hi Can anyone help
On a long drive back from Scotland I had a problem of the side door unlatching it's self at the rear but not opening still located at the front.

Any Ideas or ajustments to be made???

boath of our vans do it ,especialy after hiting a pot hole,
does not open all the way but jumps back to the second catch.
can be cured [quite easy] rear lock plate is about £20 from vw.
ps the little plastic bit in the back of the new catch is for setting the catch in the right position if you dont remove it after fitting it will brake and bits will fall into the lock so remove it before slaming the door shut.
bu it may just need the cable/rod adjusting.

Hi and thanks

Yes it does pop open to the second catch but for no reason, it had about 3 times on the way back from Scotland to Bristol, I'll just be driving along and it would just pop???

Thanks for the info cheers
