Why don't these work?

Anyone know why these don't slide shut. Do they get shut by a spring or is it the roof that pushes them.

One of mine doesn't work either....
Did you ever get to the bottom of what needed repairing?

Can't seem to see what's missing or what should be there.

Intake I you've had the rear door cards off and there's nothing to report....
I think I'll have a look next weekend. Can you let me know if you find anything out?
Thanks,
Neil

I've had cards off and these even completely out and can't see what's missing. Very strange.
I'm beginning to think they maybe a manual thing when the hoods down you just flip them by hand.

That is a mystery...
I'm sure they should move into place by themselves - one of mine does, the other I have to manually slide into position.
Good luck!

Turns out it's a fairly common problem with an easy(ish) fix:

Found one spring ages but I didn't know what it was for when I did rear belts. Nearly threw it.
So one fixed. I'm not sure if the other one is still floating about but if not I'll go to saab.
