Hi all - I’ve installed a set of ally door pins from flea bay but when I close the doors they bounce and the doors stay unlocked, I’ve tried undoing them but makes no difference. I think they are too long. Anyone else had the same issue?

You've screwed them on too tight. eBay specials usually have a longer internal thread and if screwed tight can catch on something inside the door card. Unscrew them slightly and you'll be fine.2015 SRi Nav CDTi 140 VX-line Nav -
I did try that but will have another go or see if I can shorten themComment

Does sound like they're catching somewhere and preventing it from fully seating, a bit like if you were to pull it back up by hand. That's what would happen if you could.Originally posted by Viper101 View PostComment

Thanks Tens6 - I'll either attempt to trim but first will see if the seller will replace for ones that actually fit the car!

Looks to me might be the top part preventing it from fully retracting, either too short or screwed too tight. How do they compare to the original?Originally posted by Viper101 View PostComment

You may have to shorten them. Unwind them until they lock properly and see if it's feasible to shorten them.

Try fitting them loosely and see if it locks, if it does they're definitely too short. Could also be too thick?Comment

Looks strange the one you brought, it doesn't look like it will suit the siggy well. Get some bullet ones like the ones on the link, i had some with no issues, only thing i had to do was stick some tissues in to shorten the thread.Comment
