Urgent Help Please
« on: January 29, 2012, 07:22:42 pm »
Im not sure if anyone else has had this problem but ive noticed that the top corner of the passenger door has sort of warped away from the car. So when the door is closed and locked it is slightly open. And you notice it alot when your driving because the road noise is quite bad

Any suggestions, thanks

I looked at a car yesterday that had a similar problem to yours. The guy in the garage suggested the door might just need adjusting to re-align it. Was only the passenger side aswell.

Never noticed it on mine and like you say the road noise would be a giveaway. Are you sure no-ones had a go at breaking into it? Could be something less sinister though I'm sure.

Thats what my first thought was but theres no marks or signs of anyone trying to get in. It seems ok at the bottom but at the top its away from the car.
Just wondering if it is a known issue because its strange

Mine was a bit out at the top when I got it. They wound the window down, stuck a knee in the middle of the door then pulled the top in. Horrible to watch and I wouldn't do it myself but fixed it straight away
