coupe/hpe doors adjusting
« on: May 07, 2013, 02:27:56 PM »
Is the striker plate or rather a striker bolt adjustable? I tried to slacken it but failed. I did not forced it. How to make my doors deeper closed to flush the body?

Both the "bolt" and the receiver onthe pillar are adjustable.

Thanks. I meant the pillar striker and only this can be adjusted, what eventually I did.

Yes, the bolt like pin on the body can be undone and adjusted. After my OS sill was replaced the door kept popping when I went over a major bump. Moving the pin inwards has largely cured this.
