Something not quite right with the door

generic_username · 28th June 2014, 22:04

Hi all,

My new 190 -I've noticed the driver's door doesn't quite sit right.

> HPI doesn't have the car registered as previous cat C/D

As you can see, the door does sit right in terms of the trim sill (windows rubber & the chrome line under the windows on the 75 / colour coded trim for the ZT)

The door doesn't scrape along the bottom and the door range-of-movement feels fine? There's no issues with the locking.

It just seems to be ''jutting out'' ever so slightly.

I'd like to get this sorted out.

Q) Can it be and if so how much?

Lock misalignment?
Door seal not set properly?

Could be some sort of age-related sag on the hinges? Ie it just needs resetting?

Your wing can be adjusted to take up the gap at the hinge and the catch can be moved to bring the door in tighter.

Thanks, can I invite you (and other members) to make a guestimate on how much that would cost?

Oo Ched you kind soul!

I need to update my profile, I've done what no proud South Wallian should do and have moved up North! Colwyn Bay - I believe Jules is mere miles away.

Very kind of you to offer - Any Northerners fancy matching this offer of kindness?!
