#1: F**king wind!! Author: fatboyslim, Location: Lincolnshire,Home of the RAFPosted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 5:33 pm ---- Ok getting out the car earlier and the wind whipped the door open
It made a nasty sounding bang as it stopped
Luckily the door didn't hit the wing so no damage done there
Only problem now is the door doesn't shut as it did
I can still close it but really have to slam it
When I push the door it doesn't close it stops short
I've not been able to have a good look at it yet as it's been too dark
But any ideas what might have bent/broken??

You might be able to slacken off the hinges slightly and lift the door a bit till it lines up, 2 people are easiest for this so one can keep it where it needs to be and the other tighten the hinge back up.

It seems that the door is to high,it's catching right at the front
where the plastic mirror surround is and the window doesn't go back into
the rubber channel correctly but I can lower the window a bit then put it back up and it goes in fine
Could this be a hinge problem??
