They would not feel more static tension because of the new door seals, but they, as well as the rest of the door parts, probably do get more shock stress as you slam the door harder to get them to latch. These springs seem to just wear out on the ends and break. It's strange that this problem hasn't come up here before, and stranger still that I haven't had to fix any of these for about the past 10 years. There were a few years in the 80s when I saw a number of them. That was when I first came across the problem and had to learn the cause. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
