When away for a few days last week.
Two days into it hab door won't lock.
Not manual or on fob so not taking it apart in a field, force to lose a spring or screw.
So bungi will have to do to hold it shut.
Got home took door apart both springs top and bottom lock broken.
So rang auto trail will supply new locks only Ā£60 +vat + carriage.
No springs? Went around all motorfactors etc so springs.
So then lightbulb moment pull springs apart and bend a new hook.
Working better than before , so one of the springs might have been broken some time.
Job done, cost nowt happy chappy. Under a hour.

More than toes wet now!
Looks good. (y)
It's amazing what you can save with a bit of ingenuity.(y)
We've got a 2013 Frontier Savannah and had always wondered how the door panel was removed to gain access to the innards. Is it just velcro'd on as per your photos?:unsure:
