Hello all, anyone got one of these? I'm wondering if there is a way to adjust the doors or the door strikers.. I'm having trouble getting them to close properly. Anyone worked on something similar?

Cheers

They never had the strongest bodywork even when new. It may be that the doors have dropped causing misalignment with the door catch, wouldn't be the first time I have used a trolley jack under a door to adjust alignment. If you try it open the door slightly, use a block of wood under the door and very gently jack it up . Release the jack and check fit, repeat several times if needed until door closes

I had a feeling it might be that way, cheers & thanks
