Was a Newbie but getting the hang of it now.
I need help folks.
The lower catch on my hab door has worked loose.
Dealer and 2 mobiles cannot look at it till August at earliest.
Have tried to access it myself but cannot figure out how to get the small cover off that is over it (see pics)
Does anyone know the required steps to allow me to get at the bracket itself to allow me to tighten up the securing nuts.

It's a Benimar if that makes much difference.
Thanks in advance for you tip suggestions and help.

On the ones I've had experience of they are usually not attached with screws, just pushed into place via two spike type pins which are part of the shroud.
Be brave and using a wide flat blade try prising it outwards, possibly will slide back.

Since 2008 & many years tugging
The cream plastic cover just pulls off then there is a nut each side of a plate retaining the u bracket can be a pain to get a spanner to the nuts. You may need to loosen or remove the fly screen frame first.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, had a go at it this morning (Sunday)
Fly screen off first
The cream plastic cover had a plug in it that revealed a 4mm Allen key bolt in it.
Ones off easy peasy to tighten up the required nuts (Oooohh Matron)
May need to adjust at a future date as relied on SWMBO was on the outside telling me when door looked right
