In this video, we can see how to solve, quite simply, the issue of the door not closing on the Volkswagen Amarok. As shown in the video, the YouTuber demonstrates a door that closes but does not stay closed after being slammed: when we operate the handle, it opens again.

We might think of some remote control issues, fuses to check, or possibly needing to change the lock, which can increase repair costs. Instead, let’s see what needs to be done.

Open the door, remove the rubber cap located at the handle height, and with the ignition key, turn it to the right slowly. This resets the locking system.

Replace the rubber cap and close the door. Now it stays closed.
