AX Doors

Post by KAD »

I can't see how to adust the fit of the doors on a 1992 AX. It looks like there is no adjustment other than by use of the trolley jack method! Anyone come across this one?

Sounds likely - as the BX is made the same way.
The only thing you can adjust - is the door lock post on the B-pillar.
Before you do ANY adjustments - then be sure the hinge pins are not worn out : open the door slightly and try lift the door by hand. You can immediately feel any wear/slack in the hinge pins.
Adjusting the door fitting up/down is done the same way - you simply use handforce. If the upper window frame is offset in/out with door closed - then WIND DOWN the glass - and carefully bend the frame untill it fits nicely.
The lower panel part of the door may carefully be bend with a "soft" hand - to make it flush with the sill panel.
The whole idea is first to make the door a parallel fit with the body - then finally the lock poster is adjusted to make the door flush with the body.
