Normally when you press the door release switch under the wing mirror the door just opens, this is the case on the passenger side. However the last couple of days the drivers door doesn’t open, it’s as if the door has dropped? Its sticking. The door release mechanism is all working because if you give the door a gentle pull it opens OK.
Are there and adjustments and how easy is it to do?
Many thanks

After mine's been sat for a few days (say if I don't use it during the week) mine sometimes sticks around the seals. Unless you can feel it catching I'd suggest it's just sticking to the seals. The sun we've been having recently (better late than never) has made it happen even more.

HTH,
James

I've had a sticky door a few times when the car has been sat in direct sunlight for a while - the bodywork expands and stops the door from falling open after pressing the button. It opens if you pull on it though, and soon goes back to normal after a drive. Drooping doors though would be a bit more serious and is not uncommon.
