Passenger Door

[Galaxy23]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to adjust a door !!! (Galaxy 1.9 tdi ghia ,02 plate)

 

I know you can adjust the striker plate ,but is there anything that can be adjusted to make the door either close tighter on the door seal or the opposite.

Is there any other adjustments that I can make before i get the sledgehammer out.

 

The reason I want to adjust the door is because of an ongoing rattle/creak which could be because the door is pressing too close against the panel at the end of the dashboard.The noise is worse first thing in the morning when all the panels ,etc are stone cold.

 

When I sit in the drivers seat and look over to the closed passenger door ,the door seems to be sitting too tightly against the rubber seal compared to the drivers door where the seal does not really press against the door.

 

Anyone with anything similar?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Paul.

The dashboard could be offset. It is adjustable left/right, but a bu66er of a job I would imagine. Might have been installed offset at the factory.

 

If you put a rag between the door and the dash, does the rattle stop?

 

Have a look around the fuse box cover - this has been known to rattle.
