Swift top locker doors won't stay up.

[Cubbington]

Our 2005 Swift caravan has lazy top locker doors. They bang shut within a minute or less of being opened. Very annoying especially if the door catches that drinking glass you were just putting away. Swift tell me that a modification kit is available. Has anyone out there had any experience of this?

My friend has his booked in for service next week and hinges to be sorted

I have read about other people having it done

Which is how he got to know!!!

Are these the same doors as are on the Abbey Cardinal - if so ours require adjusting every week or so - most irritating when they come down on your wrist as you put something in them

I fitted friction stays to the 2 big ones on my friends van but I believe that Swift will fit an extra hinge in the middle

If any of you have problems with the large upper locker doors, an additional 3rd hinge can be fitted by your dealer under warranty.

Hi Jeff, is that why S/Gp went back to proper hinges? We looked at the S/Gp vans of this era and decided against them soly on the type of hinges that had been fitted. We could see this happening even in 2005. It may have been 2/3 farthings cheeper than the proper job. Some makers of c/vans seem to go blindly on with so called improvements and if fact take a step backwards. Bazz.
