Door ping open ness

[targarama]

My passenger door isn't pinging open when you press the button as easily as it used to. Now you need to be quick to grab the door as the solenoid acutates to get in first press.

I'm sure there must be a way to adjust this. Any pointers?

Thank you.

I realised on Sunday, how bobbins my pingy openness is, as they don't.

Seems all the others do vary to various degrees but apparently it just depends on how they are adjusted. The doors on the SP Tam were great. Good pingyness.

What the actual adjustment is, I havn't a clue, so not very helpful! Sorry.

I know there is some way of adusting this. My drivers' door pings just right and the passenger one used to too.

I adjusted mine , you need to undo the pin in the door and move in or out to fine adjust the pingyness? Suppose alot is down to the individual car and the tolerances of the build!! Mine still aren't perfect.

My passenger door is the same but with my experience of kung fu and meditation I can snatch it open in the blink of an eyelid. Luckily I havent wrenched the glass out of the frame yet.

My door ping openess is rubbish on the passenger side and can look very uncool when trying to time the opening correctly. I have now mastered a technique of pulling the the wing mirror ever so slightly when pushing the button. This helps. It does't help new passengers though as they battle scratch and yank to get in.

Any pic s of the adjustment area, or which pin u adjust.

Just don't grab the top of the window........
and then lean forward slightly on the door......
thereby making the window go back up.......

as I did at the weekend jamming the tip of my finger/nail in the top of the window....and boy....did it hurt........

Ray, who was luckily in the driver's side had to open the door from the inside cos I was doing a fair bit of yelling at the time and once released I did a fine version of an Indian war dance all over the front drive.........

Trouble is our drive is on a slope...and the door always struggles.......

Plus I'm an idiot and won't be grabbing the window again.....

LOL, that's exactly what I have to do!!!

Me too, but on both doors.

If I am parked on the slopey drive then even pulling the wing mirror isn't that effective so I need to thread my finger into the tiny gap between the window seal and the corner.

Fortunately I have now evolved a geckoesque pad on my left hand.

Any pics of this pin? Is it a screw? If so in or out?
