Title: Driver's door not opening smoothly
Post by: Webby the Bear on 14 October 2011, 17:35:54: hi guys,

as above when i open and close the door it makes a horrible noise... difficult to describe but if i was to open or close the door there would be two or three loud clicking noises :-\

has anyone any ideas on how to remedy so door shuts smoothly?

cheers. :y :y :y

also just check that the 2x bolts (10mm)that hold the checkstrap to the door arent loose :y
