The right side door on my /6 doesn't close well (doesn't close completely, tends to open at inopportune left-hand moments). There's no sag that I can see. (The car passes the 200lb butt test.) If I understand correctly the trick is to loosen the striker plate screws and adjust it by trial-and-error. Trouble is, if I loosen the screws the plate behind the door jamb that they screw into seems fixed in place. Is that supposed to move? How much persuasion can I apply without damaging something?
Thx, Skip |
