Anyone know how the door pocket is attached to the internal door facia. I pulled on the pocket to close the door and the pocket has come slightly adrift from the door. Its not enough to see whats broken or come off so I'm not sure how to fix it.
Thanks
Paul
Its being Zymol'd tomorrow so should be as slippery and shiny as a greased up polished slippery shiny thing and then some
Does anyone use zymol wax on a regular basis?

I think you have to pop the speaker out then feel around for 4 wing nuts

Don't those hold the whole of the door trim on? Its how the door pocket is attached to the door facia that i need to know. It may be that I'll have to take the door panel off to fix it anyway

plipton is right. Speaker off...stick hand in hole...4 wing nuts hold the pocket on. A real scraped forarm job for the back one.

Not dissimilar to the chap Washy had do his car. I keep meaning to have it done on the RS, but at the moment I'm using this hand car wash near Canary Wharf. Nothing like the same kind of job, but since I have to get it done after every trackday to get the rubber dings and brake dust off, it works pretty well.

Thanks Justin
Is it right then that the 4 winged nuts are the nuts holding the door pocket to the facia ?

Yes, but by doing that they hold the whole of the door skin to the door insides.

Cars been zymol'd and looks the dogs doodars. All the swirl marks have gone and the colour is much deeper. It also looks blue and purple and black all at the same time .
Anyone thinking of having it done I have no hesitation in recomending Glyn the waxmaster.He spent 7 hours on it today getting it ready to put the zymol vintage wax on at £1800 per tub ( not a full tub in fact only a very small part of a tub ) - worth every penny
