Not had any problems with bearings over 113,000 miles on our aging Mk2 but following an incident last winter when a gent steamed straight up the back of my parked Berlingo early one morning doing around 30mph ( winter sun low but very bright got in his eyes) the back lift door was replaced along with the bumper and tow bar.

Yes, his was a total write off.

The firm who did the insurance job were very poor and one of things which became
clear was they had no concern as to quality of workmanship. The refitted plastic inner boot panel only held on by will power which often failed. I have regularly been hit by this falling object which of course waits till the door is horizontal before starting its decent. It only ever falls off with somebody underneath. No signs of the mechanism for detecting target but you can guarantee a minimum 50 per cent hit rate.

Have tried replacing the trim connectors but due no doubt to the initial damage one or twoC connection sites were broken off and the remainder just weren't up to the job of defying gravity. Hot glue gun helped for a while but now after another winter the problem has returned.

I suspect the new door is incompatible with Halfrauds trim clips, fine to prevent sliding down but no good for holding up!

Sounds like a good idea if the clips are useless and the black screw caps will make it a near job
