Hi Folks,
Currently restoring the door cards of my S3 Spider. (Managed to find original spec material in Germany). However, the door pockets tend to flap around and don't have a positive retraction into the door cavity. Can anybody give me a source for the right-angled flat springs, mounted beneath the door pockets, which I assume are supposed to retract the pocket or their solution to the problem?

Many thanks,

Martin B

doubt you can get those anywhere...you'll probably have to fabricate something, if they are missing.
they are just a flat bit of metal bent thru the two lower plastic lips, that hold the pocket sorta tight.
look like this:

the top catch (usually breakable plastic!) just stops the pocket from being opened too wide....if this is broken or missing, here are some measurements to fabricate something:
