Door Latch Adjustment

Hey Fellas,
I got in a fender bender not too long ago and my driver side door got bent just enough to the point where it won't seal completely when latched shut.
Am I able to adjust the latch or the striker to get the door to latch shut an extra 1/8" or so?

Thanks in advance,

Willy

 

A definite maybe. It depends on where and how the door is bent...

 

You'd have to drill holes to move the striker or latch, it would be kind of a pain and likely not work as well as you hoped

If the door is bent it'll never seal properly

Maybe a new door from a wrecking yard?

 

More than likely no. The quick check. if the bolts for the latch and striker have a bevel to them they self center and are not adjustable. As said before if the door is bent may be time for a door.

 

Everything is possible with a Dremel tool and a creative mind.
