#1: Door crunch... Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 8:40 am ---- Hi guys,
wind blew open the passenger door the other day when my friend was getting out and I heard an ominous crunch as the door hit the limit.
It doesn't shut now unless you really slam it and the door feels a bit wonky. Any idea what could have gone?
A cursory inspection of the hinges etc shows nothing amiss.
Kinda gutted. Already spent 500 on my car this month fixing various things.

#3: Re: Door crunch... Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 9:35 am ---- It looks normal, but the door hangs slightly lower than before, I think

#5: Re: Door crunch... Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 11:00 am ---- I did the same, Check strap is now in 2 pieces. Re adjust the latch position on the frame, 2 small torx bolts.

#8: Re: Door crunch... Author: moshymosh, Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 6:11 pm ---- I did this with mine e other day and although the hinges look fine as they are what happened for me was the hinge stayed strong but bent the door frame away from the outside door skin if that makes sense?

Author: Targa180, Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 7:42 pm ---- Can I add to this slightly with a sorta similar problem I have, drivers door clicks loudly when it rolls over the 2 points where the door can 'hold' from opening or closing further on its own. Ive heard alot of cars do it over the years, but what causes this? I hope my door doesnt end up saggy aswell
