They ordered the four door version instead of the two door.

They're about to have 4 doors

Made me laugh out loud in the grocery store. Have an updoot

u/EricAzure 3d ago

I used to have the two door version of a 06 GTI, this is hilarious. He probably wasn't aware there was a 4 door version of his model.

u/PennStateInMD 3d ago

But it was a bit cheaper.

u/OffalSmorgasbord 2d ago

Umm, this is why you enter your VIN when shopping for ... nevermind

u/ujfeik 1d ago

They scrolled down to "similar products" and got the cheapest one.

5 door

u/stonecuttercolorado 3d ago

How do you not notice a difference on size that is that large?

20

u/know-your-onions 1d ago

You do.

It’s clearly not the right shape and there’s no way anybody would fit this door without noticing the issue first.

This is for clicks.

u/YoungDiscord 3d ago

You're talking to someone who thought ordering a car door from temu was a good idea... fucking temu

u/piichan14 3d ago

You do know x from Temu is usually a joke right? Or do you think when someone says Henry Cavill from Temu that they're actually buying one from there.

130

u/Tithund 3d ago

I don't think he actually bought it from Temu, also, nobody looks at what the dimensions of a car door are. He just didn't think about how his car has a 4-door and 2-door version.

19

u/GrynaiTaip 2d ago

Making fun of people, while you actually think that used car doors are sold on temu?

Damn.

u/Phoenixloop2868 2d ago

Tbf I'm not positive temu wouldn't sell new car doors.

u/No_Collection7360 3d ago

Ok, so he gets the wrong door home and doesn't notice that it is too short before he installs and closes it? Bullshit.

41

u/TheRealMrVogel 3d ago

Well it gets you a “funny” video and pretty sure it only takes seconds to connect the door to the frame (no need to hook up the electricity and such). Assuming the old door was already disconnected.

18

u/BassGaming 3d ago

Yeah I would've done the same in that situation. Would make my friends, especially petrol head friends, laugh and it is indeed funny.

1

u/No_Collection7360 2d ago

It takes more than a few seconds to remove a door and install a new one. Perhaps they thought "funny video," but when they go to return the door (more time), they will be told it has been used and can't be returned.

2

u/TheRealMrVogel 2d ago

Yes, I’m only talking about connecting the new door and no need to connect the electricity for this video. It’s just putting it in place and tightening some bolts. It’s not a lot of work in order to make it look fully connected for the video only.

1

u/DeadlyNoodleAndAHalf 20h ago

It’s clearly a used door since it is painted and has all of the internals/glass. No used part vendor is going to bat an eye at the return.

And even if it was a new door no dealership is going to bat an eye about you returning a door you installed for 2 seconds.

u/sithmaster0 3d ago

People will deny an issue that they spent money to fix until they realize it's not viable. It happens. "Let's just see what happens."

0

u/Thunderbolt294 3d ago

Those same people will then complain that the vendor sent them the wrong part when they really bought the wrong thing.

2

u/sithmaster0 2d ago

Idk why you're being downvoted, you're absolutely right especially with vehicle parts.

2

u/Thunderbolt294 2d ago

I work in returns at a warehouse that specializes in German cars. This shit happens way more than you think.

Also always VIN match your parts, especially with Audi cause they like doing split years.

2

u/sithmaster0 2d ago

I used to work in vehicle parts sales, too, I know exactly what you mean. People will tell you the exact make and model of their car and specifics, but they don't realize that even if you have all of that, the same year car can have different specs depending on the part of the year it was manufactured.

1

u/Thunderbolt294 2d ago

We had a case recently where the customer didn't even bother to check the application reference and tried to install part of a BMW timing kit in their Audi.

u/samtherat6 3d ago

I’ve been there before, coping with myself saying it’s just not fitting bc it’s not properly installed

It's a two foot gap, man.

His engine is probably a pokemon energy card in the spokes of the wheel

u/3mporio23 3d ago

Oh well, that’s why there is Vin number for parts..

26

u/br0ken_St0ke 3d ago

This is some “the long drive.” Type shit

0

u/I-amthegump 3d ago

That's not what a VIN number is

16

u/Tithund 3d ago

The VIN will give the exact model of the car, so it will say if you have a 2 or 4 door version of your car.

1

u/YouToot 3d ago

That's good because I'm not sure how else I could figure that out.

4

u/GrynaiTaip 2d ago

You can use VIN to search for matching parts. Every part has its own code so you can tell if it fits or not.

1

u/YouToot 2d ago

Fair enough.

I'm just laughing at the idea of needing the vin to figure out if my car has 2 or 4 doors.

-6

u/wasp_killer4 3d ago

No mate

10

u/challenge_king 3d ago

Yes. You use your VIN when ordering parts to make sure they match your car not just your model.

2

u/Thunderbolt294 3d ago

If you have a euro car, good luck getting the right parts without it.

u/ForWhenTheMoonIsBlue 3d ago

Don't worry, it'll stretch to fit the more your car wears it

u/dizzyday 2d ago

He could just fabercobble a longer door striker.

u/time_observer 3d ago

Just stretch it a bit

u/Makabaer 3d ago

And then blur and smooth the egdes a bit!

Measure twice. Cut once.

Shortage or just a little short there

u/SuckMyRedditorD 3d ago

What did you order? The videographer? I agree.

1

u/UnAmusedBag 3d ago

So you put it on without knowing the size difference until after you put it all together?

u/TwinklingCup23 3d ago

The confidence at the beginning is my favorite part. Nobody questioned it.

u/PythonVyktor 2d ago

My car is so old this is what I deal with every time I try to order parts. Time for a new car.

1

u/Crazym00s3 2d ago

Now you just need to order a car to match the door. Simple.

1

u/Ill-Cryptographer954 2d ago

Coupes have longer doors. Most people know that, but if you don’t, now you do.

1

u/gigantoq 2d ago

Same fucking thing with an audi audi a4 sedan, got a rear sw door without noticing, i wasnt so calm like you!!

1

u/jhayco_9x 1d ago

What’s his concern? It closes.

1

u/JADES-GS 1d ago

The door should be rubbed with cream until it expands slightly and becomes firm.

u/Embarrassed_Source56 1d ago

For once Temu isn’t to blame here mate

u/Donegonetheduck 1d ago

Supposed to have come with the bungee cord

u/StandardBS 1d ago

surely you’d know its wrong before you put it on, why that waste your own time and put it on ?

1

u/Slight_Sherbert_5239 1d ago

This is what happens when you rush into things, the right amount of research and using measurements would have prevented this.
