Passenger door won't shut properly

Post by scooby-tc » Fri Dec 31, 2010 12:26 am

I have put up with this for a few months now but to be honest its starting to get on my nerves.Doesnt seem to matter how hard/gently you shut the door it never closes properly,its almost like the door has dropped (it hasnt) i have also tried closing it with the window slightly down incase it was a vacuum issue,has anyone else experienced anything similar? and if so how did you cure it?

When my door lock went, i couldn't open it from the inside, it shut and opened from the outside. Good luck.

It sounds like the lock is knackered. It hapened to me, fitted new lock, good as new problem solved. Very frustrating though.

it closes if i pull the door from the inside and sometimes if i close it gently its fine.Maybe its a winter thing as i never noticed it when i got the car in September when it was considerably warmer.I never got round to spraying the lock with WD40 today as i was busy fitting my LED rears and to be honest forgot :)

thanks again guys for the input
