Hi all, this is my first post !

I've had my vantage for about a month, (bought used). I noticed today that the off side door glass touches the small rear pane of glass when shutting the door? I think its just a matter of time before the glass breaks.

Ive compared it to the other side door and it looks like the door has dropped slightly (2mm). Is there anyway of adjusting the door, Ive noticed what looks adjusters on each hinge (looks like "male" torx screw heads). Can these be used to make slight adjustments?

Does anyone have a workshop manual they can email to me ?
Is this a common fault?
Don't really want to spend a fortune at the dealer?

thanks

Hi Guys,

Sorry to resurrect this old thread especially on my first post but I recently bought a 2006 AMV and the passenger door is slightly out of alignment which is noticeable by looking at the chrome trim. I see from the above thread that there are some male torx bolts, if I adjust these will they adjust the door height?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What was the solution to fixing the drop in the door?
