Up Hill Friction

[R&J]

I've notice that when I park the Chim on an uphill slope, after a while the drivers door starts to stick.
It rubs the body at the top of the door where a rubber is placed.
It seems fine when facing down the slope.
Has anyone else experienced this and what do you recon is the cause?

thanks in advance

Hello,

My Cerb has a similar problem on the o/s door. The laws of physics seem to make the door hang lower due to it's own weight when pointing uphill. The hinge seems to disperse the downwards force of the door forwards when facing down a slope. From what I understand this can be easily rectified by tightening up the door hinges to allow less lateral movement. I am getting TMS to look at mine next week.

the drivers door sticks when facing up-hill
the passenger door sticks when facing down hill down-hill

Bit of flexi fibre-glass eh?

One solution to the problem would be to go and live in Holland, there are very few uphill slopes there.
