'93 Fox HB Door problem

haveav8 · August 21st, 2009, 10:35 AM

Driver side of my '93 HB Fox Have to slam door extremely hard to get it to close,
any ideas. Thanks

Either the door is hanging low because of worn hinges or your latch striker needs to be be adjusted to mate up with the latch better. If it shuts easier when you are lifting up on the door, it is more of a hinge problem. If not, I'd play with the striker position or maybe consider getting a plastic sleeve for it.

By hinge do you mean bushings? I'd say that or latch/striker

Yes, I considered the bushings a part of the hinge

Thanks for the responses,
The latch plastic is somewhat worn, where can I get a replacement? Wait Latemodel has them.. ha ha
The door does lift a little, so how do I adjust or repair the hinges?
thanks

They all lift a little, does it shut easier when it is lifted?

No it does not, tried several times but it's same.
It does close a little better with window down,
don't know if that means anything.
