Door adjustment

[Christopher Marsden]

Hello,

Can anyone please point me to any instructions on how to adjust the doors to shut correctly?

Thank you.

It will be hard, be prepared!

And don't expect the right door to close properly, there was a defect in the moulds...

oh ! 300% pure pleasure !

I don't think I have the absolute truth, but I do this :
- install the hinges on the door / on the car, do not tight completely
- install the door on the car
- install the door lock striker, and tight it
- close the door carefully
- adjust the door lock striker in order to have a correct aligment (front / back) and a correct height of the door
(you need to close / open the door, and move/tight the door lock striker many times ! )
- the hinges are not 100% tight : adjust the front position of the door (door closed)
- door closed : tighten the hinges

after this, for me, the settings of the door lock striker and of the hinges on the door were ok.
I just need to adjust only the hinges on the car after installation of the glass (2 people : 1 loosen slightly the hinges on the car, the 2nd maintening the door and moving a little bit, etc)

hope it helps !

Many thanks, I will give it a try, once the door cards are off......more hassle!
