Wind Blew Door Open

[LScottBell]

My mate opened one of the doors and the wind caught it and blew it open really hard.. Now when its closing the door has dropped maybe a centimetre and the top of the latch is catching you can hear it cliunk.. Ahhhhhhh

cant have a proper check till the morning but any ideas whats happened? Everything on the door looks fine nothing snapped but obviously something has bent somewhere?

Thanks guys

My door has also dropped mate...it just doesnt catch right so it makes the clunking noise. Be interested to hear of any suggestions as well mate

hinges will have pulled on the door pillar, if you're feeling rough/lucky sometimes a block of wood and a trolley jack can jack the door back into line

Man up grab the bottom of the door and pull up to suit =]. My dad for some unknown reason managed to drop my door about an inch or so, by using it to get into the car with.

Or take it off and line it back up, then screw it back in..

Worked for me :)

Can not take off and line it back up because the hinges are welded to the A post and therefore not adjustable like some cars (shame). That is where the jack and wooden block come into play to persuade the door back to where it should be.

agreed, taking the pins out and re-aligning just not an option with a saxo sadly
