Phew dunnit! tricky with no tools as we are in process of moving house and of course first things to go to new place are my tools! so had to find an allen key, I used one I had when assemble IKEA units, had to bend the end so i could easily turn round and round and remove the bolt faster, kids were late for school, i ended up breaking a light bulb too as it was too dark to see what I was doing and dropped the damn thing....after alot cursing it was indeed as you say, initially the whole thing popped off.....so pushed and held in position and the then tightened...all good back to the way it was before thanks flush with seal and door panel...the 1-2mmm gone!!!!!
