ok, im sure many listers have the obligatory broken one on one of their
vws.<br>
the other day the driver side door of the rieger went 'pop' as i closed
it,<br>
and lo and behold, my king-fu-grip door-holder-action is no more.<br>
question: has anyone attempted to fix this thing? im not even sure how
to<br>
get at it. i look at it from the inside of the twin and cant really
grasp<br>
the 'proper' way to get at it.<br>
thanks in advance for info/help<br>
