Hi ALL

Anyone got a solution to my LHD Drivers door, it won't close fully without really slammin', is it just the strike plate or something else :?:

Has it just started? Or 'always' done it?

Could be the striker plate in the wrong place. Or hinge bolts loose so the door has moved, or just sagged from worn hinge pins. Or new / incorrect / aftermarket door rubbers stopping the door closing properly. Or top window frame in wrong / loose stopping the door closing properly.

When it is slammed shut, are the door gaps correct? Is the door nice and flush? Could be a few things.

all of the above....

.... also: are they original door handles? the ones on my bus were naff non-originals and they really knarled my doors bad... took some good-ol-fashioned jiggery-pokery to fix
