Hi all,
Well this problem has been with grimace since I got him, The passenger door will open going around corners, up hills, and various places.
I have taken the car to mick motors, and he adjusted the striker plate. all was fine and it went around corners which opened before but didnt.
Today we drove over the Houghton Highway, (one of the bumpiest bridges) and it poped open, Is this normal? should I just accept that the bridge will knock it open?.
any suggestions?
I spose you have already have tried locking the door!!!??!! :thumb

Yes
It could be the striker plate again. I had a bug that was prone to this. You'd adjust it, and a couple of months later, have to grab hold of the passenger door as you went around a left hand corner. Adjust it a little further, and see how you go.
Squiz.......
replace the rubbers on top of the front beam. If they are shagged abd you hit a bump the entire body can flex enough for the doors to pop open. I had to fix the same problem in a mates 60 🙁 and I to replaced the striker plates, the lock assembly and then finally the rubbers. Good luck
try tieing it shut...it may look "UN-kool" but it'll work till you can do it properly 😉
