no mate i mean the actual sidelight doesn't go all the way in and sit flush with the wing, its always been about 2-3mm out and iv just been on repairing the wing, had to bend the arch in a little bit and stick the plastic arch back on now my sidelight wont click in, its like the wire/connector is pushing up against something on the inside
