Very quiete in the bodywork sub forum so I'll have a go here instead!!
Hi guys. I've noticed that my drivers side front door doesn't close quite as positively as the passenger side and sometimes it needs a second firmer swing shut to get it fully home.
Closer inspection sees the top part of the door frame is a fraction out of line with and increased gap at the top and a decreased gap at the bottom. There's no wind noise or anything so the door is sealing fine.
If this was a kitchen cupboard door I'd just wind the top hinge in a touch and the bottom one out. Can you do similar with these doors? I'll try and post pics of the hinges..is it just a case of loosening these a little, twist the door a tad then pinch back up. Then adjust the door catch if needed?
