If its showing more thread at the bottom than the top, unclip it and move it so you have about 5mm showing at the bottom.
Once you have made sure the plastic clip is locked try opening the door from inside and outside.
Lock the car with your key or fob...unlock it and try the door opens again from inside, then outside.
If you over adjust the rod.....say leave just 2 mm of thread at the bottom.....your door will open easier and you think great......but once you lock it with the fob and unlock it...the door will be jammed...you won't be able to open from outside or within !!!
And ....if like me you have put everything back together...you have a nightmare to get the cards of with the doors shut.
Did this yesterday and I was not impressed.
Just check everything locks and unlocks and the doors still open BEFORE refitting the doorcards, and all will be fine.
To think I only wanted to pop some standard tweeters into the rear doors and thought I'd adjust mine as they seem to stick from time to time when opening.
My clips was pretty central on both...so debatable they had moved......
Mine have about 5 mm of thread now at the bottom and all seems fine.
Put the door cards back on earlier today....in the rain.....nice !!!

I dont think he's talking about the rod connected to the exterior handle. He's talking about when the doors are locked the black button on top of the door card is still visible. Stocktake is recommending adjusting the rod slightly.

Its all linked.
when I over adjusted mine the central locking rod sat higher....protruding about 2mm instead of siiting flush when locked.
All good again since fettling again.

Yes, I am talking about the black interior button.
I will take Stocktake's advice.

Thanks for your help chaps

Stocktakes advice is spot on...
I only flag it up after my misfortune yesterday....
After adjusting the rod / clip, my central locking rod sat higher...just above flush, when locked.
After re-adjusting.....its now flush when locked.

Only an observation.....good luck.
