Door Adjustment

[davers_uk]

My drivers door has dropped and is clashing on the bodywork. Could anyone advise me of how to adjust it up please. Thanks.

Head in footwell time.

Support the door with a block of wood and trolley jack. There are two nuts tucked up behind the dash in the A pillar and another two hidden by carpet at the bottom. The fixing holes are quite generous so just slackening the nuts a touch will allow the door to be repositioned - with a bit of trial and error

Try just loosening the top nuts first as more than likely the movement has occurred due to the door weight acting down on them. A gentle push up may be all it needs.

Try to determine whether the hinges are loose on the A pillar or if the door is loose on the hinge,two quite distinctly different things. In my case the door had dropped because the bottom hinge was loose in the bottom of the door. All that was required to re-set the door to its original position was to do up this single nut. Whilst you are there check the top one as well.

Good luck.
