bodilx6 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've noticed a bit of wind noise from my drives side door lately. It also seems to a few mm's from actually closing completly in line with the bodywork. I'm certain this hasent been the case before, but I can't see any reason that it should have changed. Any way to adjust this? I can force it in line by hand when the door is shut, but it won't stay there. It closes with a perfect sound and all seems well except for the misalignment.

Chris Wilson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think you will find the striker on the back of the door pillar is adjustable, in, out, up and down once slackened off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks Chris Probably a language thing, but whats the striker? The thick part of the rubber seal? /Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) You have the mechanism in the back edge of the door itself. That grabs hold of a metal tongue on the body as the door finally closes. The bit it grabs is on the back edge of the door opening (aperture), half way up. That is the thing that is adjustable. If I had a working EPC I'd post a pic. but I don't, sorry. This shows a fairly similar mechanism: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/101876 Edited May 8, 2009 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodilx6 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) I can't seem to find much adjustability in the striker. I think I got the door 2mm further in but thats it and not enough. I'm guessing it is this one and that it is just a matter of loosening the three bolts (last one being the one in the black plast to the right), pushing the entire unit further out and then tightning them again. It just seem to fit exactly like before. http://idisk.me.com/stefanbovien/public/door/1.jpg There is no adjustability in this one, right: (if so, I can't seem to get the plastic off it to get to any kind of bolts) http://idisk.me.com/stefanbovien/public/door/2.jpg Here you can see the misalignment of the door: http://idisk.me.com/stefanbovien/public/door/3.jpg Edited May 14, 2009 by bodilx6 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 No, adjust the striker, the one in the second photo down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
