wonky back door.

Post by Tony Tone »

ooooerrr missus I'm having back door problems !!!!.

If I shut the rear door to it will close ok, and lock but if i pull it I can still pull it open abt 1/2 - 1 cm. Is there any way of getting to to shut and hold firm against the boot opening , or is the play normal ?.

Cheers ears , Tony

Have you checked to see if the latch & striker plate are bolted up tight? If they are try a bit of grease on the latch mechanism in case it's not locking fully.
