    Hey Guys,

    Have just replaced the Rubber Seal around the drivers side and now my drivers side door will not shut right up. He will shut to the point where it wont move but it is sticking out a bit. Here are some pictures

    inside the door (On the car body) there is a loop that the door latch clicks onto, it has two torx screws holding it in, undo the screws slightly, move it in a little and re-tighten, then try to close the door :p

    I'm slightly drunk so I cant be more specific, sorry.

    I'd go with what DannyboyDS says unless the door striker has never been previously adjusted....if never adjusted new seals should still close....have you shut it "firmly"
    I've also heard that some new rubbers are slightly harder than original factory rubbers which may make an adjustment of the striker necessary. Maybe I've also had too many beers as I think I'm writing the same as DannyboyDS.

    you have to watch out doing that :p some wierdo the other day got all shirty with me for writing the same thing as him differntly, as if I had gone out of my way to do it, just an accident tbh.

    Anyway following on from that you can always re-check the install and make sure everything is in place, then try to get an eye on the exact point it is fouling at when you close the door, the hinges are ok yeah?
