Does anybody know where I can pick up 4 new Nylon door bushes for myS3 and at what price. They are the little things that keep the doors within the top and bottom bushes.

with thanks

the nylon bushes are readily available from such as Paul Matty, Sue Millar etc, approx ?6 each, I did buy some recently with badly cut threads which would not screw into the brackets so check the threads before buying if possible.

I'm in the US and got mine from Dave Bean. There is a steel 'keeper' which screws into the same location as the nylon insert and locks it into place. It is open in the center - so the nylon insert can be adjusted with the doors on the car.
The only reason for mentioning this is that there was some corrosion in the aluminum piece due to the steel keeper. So I had to run a threader die into the aluminum piece to clean things up. Then the nylon bushes screwed in by hand.
Good luck
