[andythrill]

has the car been in an accident?

 

[rashcupra]

halfrauds or snap on or mac tools will sell this tool and moving the striker is all that needs doing TRUST ME

rash is clever trust him lol

 

[rashcupra]

oh you dont wanna do that

whats a striker then, and what does it look like? My drivers door feels like its a few mm too low so when i close it, it feels like its catching more than it should. The passenger door was the same but i got that fixed before i picked up the car

 

[rashcupra]

when you open the door its the gold braket looking object half way up the door shut what grabs the catch on the door when closed it has two multisplined torx bolts securing it to the chassis

i see, mite have to move mine then.. just need the correct tools

If the door is too low, shove it up. After four years one of my Ibiza's just needed a good hard tug upwards to bend the end panles where the hinges attach just a fraction so that it lined up again, or put a jack underneath and give it a shove

Its just the reverse of what has happened over time
