where the feck did my reply go?

yes but check them firts, easy if they are rears, front just look for condition and leaks.

back door, door card off, boil the kettle pour it on the outside then push it out, the metal will be mega hot though.

the hot water softens the paint so it doesn;t crack and the hot water makes the metal happier to pop back into shape
