Thread: Disco 2 Tailgate Door Adjustment

Up or in?
I've adjusted my last two IN by just using a club hammer,, (the new one has refused such action so far)
and I thought the reccommended adjustment for up was a jack and a block of wood?

Are you getting water coming in?
If so it gets in from the top seal the one that only comes down the sides from along the top of the door (200 mm).
I have bought some sponge and cut it into strips10x20mm and tucked it in along the back of the seal.
The seal is easy to pop out just pull it down from the top part that is under the roof line.
Could buy a new seal but how much would the stealers want?

my door has a pronounced sag as well but thousands of k s on dirt over the past few months will do it ! is this a two person job to accurately lift and position and are there any marks or measurements to look for ? the whole area arond my hinges have become dusty and scratchy so i cant even find the original marks on the paint.

I Had to do mine the other day after i drove away without the back door latched .It swung open really hard and some how bent the door up and it would not shut at all.

I loosened the four bolts on the hinges enough so you can move it by hand but still firm enough to support the weight of the door .

Then adjust the open door and close gently and see if it needs more adjustment . Tighten it up when it is where you want it .

Worked for me anyway. Although i think the hinges on mine got bent so its not perfect but pretty good. Cheers.
