Does anyone elses doors feel like they dont close right?

When I close my drivers door it feels like it's catching on something like it's sunk down or something.

Visually it seems to be at the correct height however :(

Not too bad to fit, make sure you wedge the door up on a few pieces of wood/crate etc then swap em.

All the holes are bigger than the bolts to allow alignment but it can be an arse to get it right.

Be careful on your first shut of the door in case its out of line! It may touch wing.......you've been warned.

My driver's side door doesn't look like its quite shut properly when it is. The back of the door slightly sticks out and its worst at the top of the door. It causes it to rattle a bit at speed and on bumpy roads.

I know the car's never been broken into or anything like that so does anyone know what's wrong and if I can fix it? Would it be the hinges set wrong or something?

Going back to topic!

Had mine fitted so called "professionally" but they still managed to catch wing and door and take the paint off and also dropped door on sill, putting dint in it and taking paint off. Altho paint is flaking off all plastic bits by itself as it was never primed properly (it's Nickg123's old car!! :evil: )

Think I'll do it myself next time!

Door shuts perfectly now though without hardly touching it.

Had it fitted by a garage due to reading posts on here saying it was an absolute tw@t to fit.
