As title suggests,

Went to get in car this morning and now find the drivers door catches on the 1/4 panel when you open it.

Anyone else had this?

Looking at the colossal hinges in the thing, I'm not sure how to tackle it (and didnt really have time at that point either)

Short of saturing this thing in petrol and setting it alight, is there anything anyone can suggest?

Seriously getting over the 'joys' of soarer ownership very quickly, one thing after :-(

Or first, try loosening the bolts and jacking the door up, then tightening the bolts.

My brothers started doing this, so i just stuck a small thing piece of wood (maybe a 1cm?) in between where it was catching, then shut the door on it slowly, remove wood, shut door and it should stop catching.

+1 for phone book/folded porno mag.

Anyway once you've fixed everything you then sit there with nothing to do...and wait for the next thing to need fixing.

Edit: Your rims look just like mine. Except yours are way more friendly with your guards.

Sounds like it's time for you to buy a newer car. 16 year old cars are always going to need tlc.
