    Hey All
    Does anyone know how to adjust the doors on the VE? My passenger door has always been stiff to open, I have come to the conclusion that I need to lift it a little anyone know how?

    Cheers

    Unlikely that actual door is off center... you'll probably need to adjust the striker if anything.

    Does the door itself catch anywhere on the frame? If not, leave the door alone.

    The striker is pretty straight forward to adjust, but dont go banging it with a hammer or anything.
    Loosen the screws enough so it can move but its not too loose.
    Move the striker as far as possible to the outside (its maximum adjustment).
    When closing the door, hold the handle and gently close the door.
    This will align the striker to where it needs to be.
    Gently open the door and tighten the screws and see how you go.

    Repeat if not quite right the first go.
