Citroen Relay 2014 | Rear door not catching on lower door striker

Unread post by Charliebobgordon »

Hello, wondering if anyone can help. Haven’t found the same issue posted anywhere else.

When I shut the passenger side rear door it isn’t catching on the lower strike plate. So when both doors are shut the rear doors aren’t secure at all.

Is it a case of adjusting the strike plate position? Or is the door bent?

Also, if you have the same van, can you advise whether based on my pictures if it looks as though the striker plate is already adjusted as far towards the rear doors as it will go?

Currently can’t adjust the strike plate position as one of the bolts has rounded off so will need to drill them out.

Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I have a similar issue but mine is caused by the lower hinge on the offside (driver's door) not allowing the door to close completely. As far as I can see, I need to add a spacer to the hinge/door face. I'm also looking at the rubber seal option from The Metal House where they supply a door seal which fits to the middle edge of the rear doors to add sealing.
