Hi, my passenger door needs to be slammed in order to shut properly and appears to have dropped slightly, the check strap bolts are done up tight so I'm not sure what else to look at? Any help greatly appreciated, Cheers.

Time to renew the pins - pennies from Vauxhall, but can be compete b'stards to remove.
Absolute doddle to fit the new ones though!

Nice one, ta, Total Vauxhall changed the door on their Carlton and they reckoned the tool to do it is well worth it, I've seen someone do it manually on a rear door and I do remember one pin was a pig, Cheers.
