JackStrong Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Hi, Quite a few threads lately from me, fixing little things etc. Thanks so much for the help anyway. Not sure how this has happened but my passenger door isn't closing properly. Its not aligned properly so every time i close the door it hits the latch, making an awful noise. The door does close fine, but want to fix it. So I need to adjust the door alignment, anyone advise the best way/guide ? Cheers Edited August 28, 2013 by JackStrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HmmBen Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Without looking myself. The 1st place to adjust would be the striker on the car. Loosen the bolts adjust and re tighten. Otherwise its onto the hinges but then you'll most likely have shut line issues. Is there any reasons why the door might of dropped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStrong Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 What's the striker ? Is it the n shaped steel hook. I did have my Nissan jack fail the other week, causing the car to shudder a bit as it rolled off the jack. The door was wide open but didn't hit the floor. Pretty sure it's been doing it since then.

HmmBen Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 That may have done it. They are big heavy doors. Yes the striker is the U, C, whatever steel hook thing. In this case you might just be able to give the door a bit of brute force and tweek it upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
