Brumby Door adjustment

Post by andy0097 » Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:02 pm

Just bought a 90 brumby has a problem with the passengers door sitting low and back which in turn leaves a gap at the top which rain can get in. Does anyone know the procedure to adjust the door as the manual i have(Gregory's ) dosen't really show you

Very unlikely that the passenger door is dropped but check along the bottom edge to be 100% sure.

If it is then the easiest way to open the door slightly and reach on the bottom and gentle lift the door up. The car will try and raise but do this a few times until the bottom gap is equal (when the door is closed) all the way along.

If the door is level and the window is slightly down, then you're going to need to remove the door trim and adjust the window stoppers up slightly. Remember not too much or the window will catch when you open the door and possible break.
