could be down to vibration it should have had lock tight on the fixing bolts.

mine was the same on the drivers door, take it to the dealers mate, a 2 min job, the nut is like a alumn (sp) key nut.....

yeah mine was the same on the drivers door, i've tightened it myself now. Wasn't too chuffed though, started when it had only done 1500 miles.

******* thing has come loose again two days after i tightened it, car is starting to get on my nerves.

Take it out and put some lock tight on the thread

it's going back to the dealer, with a few other things.

Didn't expect things like this from a 21k car.

check mine to day must say they r ok, fingers crossed.

I think some of it has to do with the weight of the door as they are quite large and therefore prone to higher stress than say a normal saloon door. Although I do agree that for the money spent they should've checked things like this out and ensured that the components used were capable of the job.

[Daz5182]

yeah that's what i mean, you pay a lot and shouldn't have these issues. Oh well hopefully the dealer will sort the bits i've found so far.

[AlexFi]

No hoping mate, he will! Make sure of it

Loctie should do the job.
Reckon the G force of the VXR is forcing the bolts out

[AlexFi]

Lol, but seriously they should've done more testing/checking as it seems quite a few people are experiencing this issue.....
