Hi all,
Some time back I noticed a small dent and some paint scrubbed off my right hand door. I first
thought this was due to a parking problem (an other car's door hit mine). However the day
before yesterday I washed the car and I found exactly the same kind of damage on the left hand
side door. As both places are almost mirrorviews one of the other I started to wonder what could
have caused this as both locations are well within the protected area by the rubber doorstrips
and the iron sidesteps I have, also the location is too high to be caused by a car's door, (see
pic 3 I took vertically, my indexfinger is on the right hand door on the spot in question, as
you can see it is well within the protected part of the door). Earlier this week I read on another
forum about all kind of methods thiefs use tryhing to get into other's cars, one of these methods
was to put a tennisball cut in two halfs over the lock of certain VW Golf models and afterwards hit
very hard the ball, the lock would spring and give free access to the vilains. I wonder now, as it
happened at almost exactly the same place if they didn't try something similar on my Freelander ?
Any ideas ??
