Finding part for rear barn door

[westcountryboy]

The retaining things is missing from my passenger side barn door, any idea what it is called and more importantly, where I get a replacement from?

check strap is the search term your missing. easiest option would be probably be eBay, unless you want to pay main dealer prices.

EDIT - just searched eBay and they seem to be about £100 which is more than i expected - it might be worth checking VW after all!?

Brilliant thanks.

That looks like the door stay is fitted just not connected to the door catch. Probably just needs pulling out and reconnection to the spring clasp on the door.

Sorry I only just noticed this is in the T5 section, not sure if anything’s different but I posted T6 image and part numbers

Yes, this looks to be the case.

@westcountryboy check out this thread for some pictures: Barn Doors not reattaching

You should be able to pull it out with pliers.

I don’t think anything is missing. The claw on the door latches into the 2 pegs on the body. The mechanism acts as the check strap. The mechanism can be disengaged to allow the doors to open 180deg. The claw needs re-engaging.

Oh that's saved me a few quid, thanks, I'll get the toolbox out!

Shouldn’t need the tool box, it’s a hand job…

Finding mine going in then sorts of sit but tthen after a few open and close it comes out. Is there a spring that keeps the hooks in place

Hi, the catch is spring loaded to hold the stay on to the door. They tend to get dirty and stick, a good clean and a squirt of some oil should sort it out. The plastic cover does not stop the catch working , it makes it easier for releasing the catch when wanting to fully open the door past 90 degrees.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the first time mine did this, I thought it was busted too.
You need to replace that missing bolt as well.
