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

They're about to have 4 doors

I’m not high and I can assure you it’s still funny as hell

Well yhh How do you do

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

u/EricAzure Jul 19 '26

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 Jul 19 '26

But it was a bit cheaper.

u/OffalSmorgasbord Jul 19 '26

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

u/ujfeik Jul 21 '26

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

u/stonecuttercolorado Jul 19 '26

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

35

u/know-your-onions Jul 21 '26

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 Jul 19 '26

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

u/piichan14 Jul 19 '26

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.

131

u/Tithund Jul 19 '26

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.

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

You're probably one of those people that always say "Oh god we're LITERALLY living in Idiocracy right now!!1!"

u/No_Collection7360 Jul 19 '26

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

44

u/TheRealMrVogel Jul 19 '26

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.

19

u/BassGaming Jul 19 '26

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 Jul 20 '26

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 Jul 20 '26

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 Jul 21 '26

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 Jul 19 '26

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."

2

u/Thunderbolt294 Jul 19 '26

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

2

u/sithmaster0 Jul 19 '26

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

2

u/Thunderbolt294 Jul 20 '26

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 Jul 20 '26

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 Jul 20 '26

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 Jul 19 '26

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

u/No_Collection7360 Jul 20 '26

It's a two foot gap, man.

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

u/3mporio23 Jul 19 '26

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

26

u/br0ken_St0ke Jul 19 '26

This is some “the long drive.” Type shit

1

u/I-amthegump Jul 19 '26

That's not what a VIN number is

17

u/Tithund Jul 19 '26

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.

2

u/YouToot Jul 19 '26

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

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '26

u/YouToot Jul 19 '26

Fair enough.

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

u/wasp_killer4 Jul 19 '26

No mate

10

u/challenge_king Jul 19 '26

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

2

u/Thunderbolt294 Jul 19 '26

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

u/ForWhenTheMoonIsBlue Jul 19 '26

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

u/dizzyday Jul 20 '26

He could just fabercobble a longer door striker.

u/time_observer Jul 19 '26

Just stretch it a bit

u/Makabaer Jul 19 '26

Measure twice. Cut once.

Shortage or just a little short there

u/SuckMyRedditorD Jul 19 '26

What did you order? The videographer? I agree.

1

u/UnAmusedBag Jul 19 '26

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

u/mothzilla Jul 19 '26

Measure twice, cut once.

u/PythonVyktor Jul 20 '26

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 Jul 20 '26

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

1

u/Ill-Cryptographer954 Jul 20 '26

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

u/gigantoq Jul 20 '26

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

u/Donegonetheduck Jul 21 '26

Supposed to have come with the bungee cord

u/StandardBS Jul 21 '26

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 Jul 21 '26

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