Not magnets Heather - they're electrical contacts to operate the closer motor in the door......... :roll:

It is probably the earth and power ones that stick out so that contact is made first.

Yeah those bloody button nearly " did my head in" as they say, when my door stopped working I tried all ways to get em to pop out, wd40, release spray even the good old coke cola but no joy..then when one of the old guys in the road popped his head in and said it looked like they should be like that and had I tried the fuse for the door..boy did I feel like an arse..so yep they is meant to be like that, just looks daft. Happy motoring.

Just looked at mine and I'm pretty sure when I bought her about a month ago that there were two in but now all five are out. Door is working fine. Any reason or this?
