UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I think i read about it somewhere, shortening the door pins so they look like the VW Golf ones, that don't stick out when the car is locked.


Guide?

Link?

Thanks

Found one

It's in spanish, but the images are what i needed

this looks quite cool, so its a case of un-screwing the old ones, cutting off the thread on the wire, and glueing new ones back on?

yes, what happens if you lock yourself in and the central locking fails?

haha!!! well i have a 5 door so can climb out of the rear wind down windows

stops fuckers breaking the glass to open the car by pulling the pin

that and i like to lean my arm on something smoth when driving haha

Well, I did it.

I have to say it looks very elegant and smooth, some pics:





Now imagine that in every door.

dont cut the thread off of it!!! numptys, just take your door card off and shorten it down at the bottom easy as pie! saves you hacking away at the thread!

That's what i was thinking

it's easier just to cut the thread, without removing the doorcard, and you're never going to be pulling on it so it doesn't matter if it's just glued on...

i gotta take the door cards off to change the grab handles and put on my new stubby drivers mirror anyway! i'll look at shortening it at the bottom, did u get new pins for them? or just removed the old ones then put them back on?

Yes, used the same ones

yeh i just did the back doors, didnt need to glue them at all!! left the cut edge sharp and tey stayed on the there no prob, will do the fronts next week when i do some other stuff at the same time

im very tempted to do this, but my central locking is so damn unreliable i'm not sure i dare! And how did u manage to swear without it being " ***" ??
