    Yep it does leave a hole but as said, a grommit will fill it nicely.

    just done mine today on a mk2, cba takin all door liner off so just chopped the end off, got some "membrane" grommet things 6 and 13mm from halfords, took about 10mins tops, looks better and not as easy for people to get in imo

    what if for some odd reason you need to lock yourself in?

    no they wouldnt if the doors are unlocked becuase the pin cant travel any higher than that, does doing it that way prevent a theif from slim jimming the car from the outside?

    cutting the door pin DOES not stop it being easy to break into

    it may make theives think there is no door pin

    but they are still there and can easily be broken into

    remove the door pins to make your car safe
