Hey, the passanger door on my car doesnt fit flush and drops noticeably when i open it. Is there any adjustment i can do to make it fit more flush? I am guessing the door hinges may be bent where the door drops and its also hard to open.

 

check the hinges, and maybe new bolts.

Try just adjusting that first... if that doesnt do the trick take the fender off and loosen the bolts that hold the door on, then adjust it till its flush. It does take some time to get it just right tho.

I don't think adjusting that will help with his problem because the door sags when open so it has to do something with the two hinges near the fender.

Ok i'll try that out tomorrow morning.

Oh and just some extra info, its the rear of the door where it doesnt fit flush. Its probably about 1/4" from being closed all the way.

 

try checking inside your door, probably got like major sack of weed in it

 

did your car ever get in a wreck that You know of?!?!, did it ever fall off a jack? or was not proberley supported at one time?

 

Yeah the car was in an accident, i dont know the details of it but there is no frame damage. I am sure thats why the door is the way it is. I am going to take it to a body shop and have them take a look at it if i can fix it up myself.

Keep the suggestions coming..

 

thats your problem, does the door close easily? do u have a picture of the door and what way it sits?
and if its liveable i would just keep on truckin, if not go to a body shop, but gonna cost a lot of MULA

 

had the same problem with my drivers side door. nothing would fix it. so i ordered 2 new hinges from acura. @ 35 bux a piece. fixed it. but still haven't got the adjustment just right. need to pull the fender but i'm too lazy.

If the Flush part is it being that it doesn't close all the way, adjust that piece Todd mentioned,
Loosen it up, then move it inwards, and then retighten.
