The Rover-Landers of BC

When I first got my defender, I started having a problem with my drivers door closing... You really had to slam it to get it to fully close... In fact helpfully hands put a nice dent in it trying to close it... So I tried having it adjusted, found some play on the hinges so replaced the hinges and latch with a brand new set both sides...( had a leak issue so changed to new door seals as well).. For some reason the door latch needs four shims in it to close properly and even now it still rubs a bit on the latch metal..the passengers side door, which always closed like a dream only had two shims. So I did the hinges and seal on both sides and now the drivers door borderline closes and I'm having trouble with the passengers door now!

Anybody with experience have any suggestions? I could really use a hand :x

Just keep adjusting.... The build accuracy of these trucks is plus or minus a couple of inches....

I would check your body mounts.

I need to book an appointment with my chiropractor every time i try to close the driver's side door on my Stage 1...seriously. :lol:
