door won't close
Well my passenger door has been having some issues closeing the last few weeks, it seem it doesn't properly line up with the body or what ever, i have to pull up and semi-gently close the door to get it closed, other wise the door will open slightly and the window will start going nuts b/c of the up and down feature.
Anyone else have this problem, and wha do you guys suggest for a solution, it's out of warranty, and i'd like to do all the work myself if possible. |
My old trans am would do this. It was the hinges holding the door on. They bolts were loose. Had a friend hold the door up, while I tightened, everything was ok.
Hopefully that's all it is... I know someone who had to replace the metal that attached the hinges to the car itself, because the welds were breaking loose... Good luck !!! |
probably just the bolts unless the hinges all of a sudden got bent.
|
That's the first time I have heard of a sagging G door.
If you car is under warranty, take it in to the dealer. Otherwise, a body shop can help. |
Fixed the problem, somehow the part that catches the door got out of whack.
|
This is happening with my '03 coupe. The driver's side door doesn't always close completely and sometimes it takes a few tries to close. Just started happening 2 days ago.

So, I kinda figured out how to close it, I just push down a bit. It closes fine, but now the window won't roll up or down. And it doesn't roll down/up a bit like it used to every time I opened the door.
|
Update:
It started closing fine, but the window wouldn't go down. I read here that if you open your door, then hold the down window button, it would go down once you close the door. I did that and now it goes up and down fine. Hopefully it will stay like that! |
My locks and windows act up sometimes when it's really hot out. But seems to work just fine during non "hot as balls" times. Florida heat for you, I guess.
|
That's weird! It wasn't too hot/cold out today. About 75 or so.
