I feel the near side door of my S1 Elise stands slightly proud of the bodywork (not at hinge end) and needs to shut tighter to the car, can this be achieved by simply moving back the locking "bar" on the inside of the door opening that holds the door shut? A couple of millimetres is all that is required. I have done this on another car but wanted to ask before I touched the Elise.

Sorry about the vague terminology.

Mine had the same fault, loosen the door pin thingy that it latches onto and it will sort it!

Missed this one, yes per Oly's advice - it happens to loads. Quick re-alignment and you're laughing. Never got around to sorting it on my 160, was too busy it

At the risk of my door swinging open if I dont sort this out now I've started, is it an adjust on the door mechanism?
