Pop Out Door Guards

Hi guys

What's the deal with the door guards that pop out on opening the door, in that, more often than not, they fail to snap on to the edge of the door and just flop about in mid-air? (oooh err!)

Its 2 mk4 Focus' I've noticed it on now...including the one I've just bought! Is it a common fault or have I been unlucky?

    It could well be you've been unlucky.  No problems with mine and haven't read anything on here to suggest they're a problem.  Might have missed it though.

    Only problem with mine is my husband caught one with his jacket cord and snapped it right off. 😮

    Your the guy that posted about heated steering wheel ? What kind of mk4 have you bought?

    the door guards are great in theory , I almost added them ..£100 if I remember correctly..I’ve seen a few posts saying they’re flimsy others saying they work well.

    Mine worked ok for time but now only the drivers door one works as it should. It seems as though they seize up on little used doors. There's a number of historic posts here about this on Focus 4 and also on Fiestas. I had them on a Mk3 and they always worked well.
