Allyn,
if your taking about the spring holding the door open, the spring is loaded
into a plastic cup into the frame of the door, look closely you should see
(feel) 2 bolts that hold it in place, take them out and you can reset the
spring action back in place with a new cotter pin, its rather simple to
gfix, when I pulled mine I sanded the shoit out of it , and regreased it,.
been working for 2 years nicely.

Ha-ha! Mine did the same thing about three weeks ago. I can't wait for
the duck season to be over so I can start tearing it apart...
It will be interesting.

ok, im sure many listers have the obligatory broken one on one of their
vws.
the other day the driver side door of the rieger went 'pop' as i closed
it,
and lo and behold, my king-fu-grip door-holder-action is no more.
question: has anyone attempted to fix this thing? im not even sure how
to
get at it. i look at it from the inside of the twin and cant really
grasp
the 'proper' way to get at it.
thanks in advance for info/help
Al
