Door cards effecting the central locking??!!

[bmwe30mtech]

Hi, My car locks were broken (yes, work fine now!!), and it turned out to be the clips on the back on the door cards! Some of the clips were getting in the way of the mechanism, and stopping it from working correctly. I just pulled out the clips and now it works. I tried them back in to check and it stopped working, so definatly was the clips. Are there shorter clips for the front door cards where they rub the locking system. (should i use the shorter clips of the rear quarter pannels?) Anybody else found this! )

Happened to me to when i changed the interiors to the M3 ones...

But, fortunetely I didn't break nothing when i got it all on the car, the door just didn't want to shut. So I scratched my head several times to find out what really was...

Then I cut the clip so he became just a little shorter. It worked for me...

Strange how little things have so much effect

Yer, such a small thing can throw the whole system, i was surprised too, i will try shorter clips i think. Glad im not the only one lol.
