| If you do mean the white plastic clips that secure the card to the door, i have some in stock. How many you need? | |

| What do you mean by 'door card clips'? The white things? | |

| I've pushed both the striker plates in a bit though there wasn't much to come on the passenger side one, may have to relive the holes.
This done the doors did require quite a yank and that's always a risk with those silly series three handles that can go beyond the point of no return. So, I took the cards off and the latches were very dry with quite alot of surface rust. The perfect opportunity to try my new Bilt Hammer WD40 like stuff that is meant to lubricate better than WD40 and inhibit rust too. After a good spray round on the inside of the latch and the back of the handle the handles are now pulling very easily. Btw, does anyone know where you can get replacement door card clips? |

| Hi,
Used to suffer with this on passenger door even put extra rubber tubular strip at the top (where door protruded a bit) without much change. When i fitted a 'new' n/s door really spent a bit of time setting it up and experimenting with shims on striker and made up shims of my own for the hinge-door mounts and got it set up quite nicely- no wind noise at all, although the door doesn't open off the handle perfectly- so you can't have it all

|
| Both of the front doors have started whistling in the past month or so for some reason. Very strange that they should both start doing it at the same time.
They both don't seem to be compressing the seal enough at about the mid point along their top edge. Almost as if someone has levered them outwards to try to get in but there is no external damage. Both doors seem slightly proud around the handle so I might try moving the striker plates in a tiny bit. |
