Title: Passenger door partially sticks
Post by: KarlB1 on December 18, 2017, 08:57:43 am

Hi guys
Recently got an 05 3 door got and when I've just unlocked it and first try to open the passenger door, it does open but feels like it gets stuck on something about a cm or so away from being shut, could it be a lazy lock unit or a module or something? I know these suffer from doors being unlockable sometimes so hoping I can sort it before it gets that bad.

Sounds like it's dropped and catching on the latch too low down.  Common problem on the 3 door.  You can adjust the hinge to raise it back up again.  If you search for posts under my username, I posted some pics about adjust the hinge.
