Original door pin


Remove door pin, window winder (if youve got it!), and door handle cover, undo screws behind it, pull off door trim at bottom working round until all clips are off.


Original hole for pin.


Using a round file elongate hole as necessary.


New hole for pin.


Re-fit door card etc. in reverse order, admire new pin!


What you think, Good, Bad?

Looks good...could do with being flush when down like on the Golf mk4 to stop theives lifting the pin up.

Are the pin bezels off a 6n2?

Mahbs

p.s. any part numbers for the bits? Cheers.

You could make them flush if you trimmed the rods down, yeag the bezel and the pins are 6n2, and as for part numbers i will get them tommorow from work

Cool, part numbers would be great looks like a good mod for not much money.

is the amount of doorpin sticking out enough to grip and unlock the door with?

If you haven't got central locking, like me, dont trim the metal rod then theres enough, but if you have, trim it to as low as you want

good idea cuz the 6n ringfs that sit in the doorcard allways crack. i shall get cracking with this idea!

anyone got a part number for these yet?

i wouldnt mind part number either cus one one my original ones has snapped

Pins: 6N0 837 187A 01C £0.67 plus VAT
Rings: 6N0 868 391 01C (left side) £0.59 plus VAT
6N0 868 392 01C (right side) £0.59 plus VAT

prices according to my version of ETKA

Thanx for that will order some with those part numbers.

Do you have to take the door cards off to widen the hole for the pins?

What do you fix the rings down with?

also how hard is it to get the window winder of cause was messing about the other day and cant seem to get it off for shit unless i am not doing right (more than likely)

These type of mods are my favorite simple, effective and utilize standard VW parts

Did this today and looks sweet but dont seem to have enough thread on the rod to trim down to make them flush, any ideas?

Also if you haven't done it yet the rings just clip in providing you dont file the hole too big

Definitely agree that these kinds of mods rule, what other ones are there for a 6n?

ooo i like this idea

any ideas on how hard it would be to fit the LED mk4 lock pins as i like the idea of the flashing LED signalling my alarm?

Jon

ha why is there even a how to for this? lol good though lol ...

i have a mrk 7 and was just wondering is the door handles come off the same as the mrk 6, can some one give me some advice on removing the handles as i dont want to break them lol.

thanks

Where does everyone get there oem parts from?

GOT A QUESTION FOR U ALL!!!!!!!!!

Will a 99 to 02 gti polo back break light spoiler if a 97 1.4 8v polo?? thanks djc

let me know asap thanks

dont look bad but i think gona just stick we mine there just 6n's but i'v filled in the lines/rings/groves (or what eva u wona call em) with some flash red it's easy to do just tape cut n paint its a bit fidely to get the tape right

errr i have a saloon and i tried this but i have 2 holes not just one :S

did a similar thing with my saloon. Pull the plastic piece out and file the front hole so its a bit bigger, will have to cut the lower surround bit off first tho. then a bit of glue just to keep it in place nicely...
