Anyone had this problem

[Rg5]

I've just found a crack in the mg log of my charger door. Going to ring dealers to see if they will sort. Can't figure out how it would have happened other than someone knocking door while charging

I had just got my car back from the body shop and had a look at my charge port....

 

[BillyWhizz]

I wonder if this is going to be a common problem

It would be good to know for certain what is causing this.

 

[BillyWhizz]

I beginning to think maybe this is where we starting to see the longevity of some components let’s say the more cost effective one’s (cheaper one’s)

I always thought the (closed) charging door looked vulnerable to parking knocks from higher vehicles as it is very close to the foremost point on the front bumper. SWMBO is always watching when the neighbour brings a van home from work and parks in front of her.
Maybe some one bumped you guys when they were parking ?

I would say that’s a impact stress fracture.

Got the new part today only ordered it last Wednesday now all I have to go is figure out the best way to fit it

I think the front bumper will have to be removed
Take a look at my thread on fitting fog lights

That would be a challenging 3D printer project!

Do you think your car did have a knock below the door.?

Possible but not that I am aware of

When you get the old one off can you post a close up of it so we can compare other failures? Mine still OK but only 3 months and 2k in.?

Had a look at mine yesterday and it's pristine.
I'd definitely say there was impact damage.

No problem

 

[BillyWhizz]

had a look today it will have to be a bumper off job

 

[Jomarkh]

Would you be happy to leave it with the repair you have made?

Hi BillyWhizz
The bumper is not hard to remove
If you have a 10mm socket and a pozi 2 screwdriver your half way there
If you follow my link on fitting fog lights it would probably take up an hour of your time from start to finish
The problem I had was finding out where all the bolts were but I took photos of them all as you can see from my link
Have a go?

??How to fit Fog Lights and NOW WIRED UP !!! ??

Hi all It’s been a few weeks since my Roewe i5 fog lights arrived from Ali express I finally got around to fitting them today? Not as simple as I first thought ? Here’s how I did it 1 remove MG badge with four screws This is so I could zip tie it up so it didn’t keep opening later on 2 remove...

I've got to agree unless you assume that the part fitted to the OP's car is a different and weaker design.
