    Def 90 door adjusting

    hi all,

    Trying to get my Def 90 doors to close flat with the side panels, fitted new rubber for doors but this was a problem even with the older door rubbers, cant seem to adjust them properly. They close properly when pushed from fully open but have tried many attempts at adjusting the door mechanism on B pillar sliding back and forth for adjustment. The door locks themselves inside the door are not adjustable as they are held in place with 3 screws. I cant seem to push the B pillar mechanism any further back to pull door in more? suggestions please...

    Are they genuine seals?

    I tried a few before genuine. A set of britpart rubber had me slamming the doors to get them any where near shut, they were way to rigid! Genuine are a proper fit and compress well.

    Not genuine

    Ok may have to give the originals a go! These were not genuine. Other thought i had was to completely remove the seal and see how the door shuts/sits with no rubber at all, if without the seal the doors shuts perfectly then the seal would have to be the problem. Will try that next before ordering the new seals. thanks

    Rubber seal is the issue

    Finally had some time to remove the rubber seals on both sides and yes they shut perfectly without the rubber seals even though they were new but non genuine. so will need to purchase a new genuine set. thanks to all

    On a 90 the above works.
    The area inside a 90 is small enough and the Defender TDCi (puma) actually seals (cough) well enough that the air pressure prevents door from closing without giving it a good heave shut
