Golf 5 Door Won't Open? Fix It Now!

Hi.

I have no idea when or how it happened, but it's here now.
The bend.

Since the paint didn't show any damage, I suspect it came into contact with a tree trunk.

What's the best way to express this without making things even more complicated?

Okay, here's the translation:

Thank you.

It's very difficult to describe it adequately with words; it requires feeling.

I had a similar experience with a silver Golf+ before, and I managed to fix it almost perfectly. You just need to know where and how much pressure to apply; some people have a knack for it, while others don't. However, I don't know if you have that ability.

Reverse the door to the first notch - check if it's open enough at the bottom to slide a thin, flexible piece of wood behind it. If so, insert the wood diagonally behind the edge and carefully pull it outwards with both hands. You may need to gently push inwards at the point where the deformation starts or ends on the bottom edge. Is the adhesive strip (under the rubber) also deformed? That shouldn't be a problem either. However, you probably won't achieve 100% restoration.

Okay,

How it must have happened is now relatively certain.

Door closed.

........and so, the search for the passenger who committed the crime begins.

I suspect someone - but I owe them too much.

Therefore, I'm now simply going to focus on correcting it (I don't think I'll be able to fix it completely).
