Title: Dropped Doors
Post by: silverGT on October 13, 2012, 09:15:30 pm

Well guess i should say hi as this is my 1st post  :smiley:

Just picked up a 3 door GT Tdi... just have a question with regards the doors did they suffer from the same issues as the MK4s with dropping? drivers door has dropped ever so slightly, is it just a case of moving the catch plate on the B pillar?

Thanks Andy

Sorry this doesn't tell you how to do it but gives you specs of what the gaps should be.  http://www.my-gti.com/2722/body-panel-gaps-and-shut-lines-volkswagen-golf-mark-v  (http://www.my-gti.com/2722/body-panel-gaps-and-shut-lines-volkswagen-golf-mark-v)

Yeah the mk5 doors are pretty heavy and pretty much everyones will drop at some point!

Yup, the driver's door on my Mk5 GTi dropped not long after the car was delivered from the factory.  It was adjusted under warranty and has been fine since.
