I was going through each and every part on my 997 this weekend, greasing parts etc, (remember I've only owned her for 3 months now). I found a missing bolt on the drivers door! Notice how there's no bolt on the bottom.

Take a moment and check for these little things, why it's missing is beyond me.

Now, I need to go part searching!

I know the car is new to you but do you know if there was any body damage that required the door to be removed? Can't imagine any other reason to pull a door and if the door wasn't pulled it is very strange for a bolt to be missing.

 

1 owner vehicle, very detailed list of services etc. He did tell me someone backed into him, to which was a new bumper. That I agree with. all other paint is good.

This is a custom OEM color (its not an Artic Silver its a Metallic Silver).

 

I have to be blind because I'm not seeing what you are. Am I to look at the black "hinge stop" in the 2nd pic?

 

Bolt is on the bottom, which is missing. Check yours and ull see it there
