    Aligning Doors

    hi all,
    since i have got the car back from panel repairs i have noticed alot of wind noise around the passenger door. also when i washed the car water was getting through in the top right corner.
    it seems like the door needs to move up at the top right, i tried following the rave method but was wondering if any tips, have not been able to move the striker yet as not a big enough torx head available.

    appreciate any advice.

    There is also some adjustment in the window frame (glide rail for the window). Five torque screws. Believe the workshop manual only shows four.

    Regards

    Try adjusting the top of the door frame - you'll need to remove the door skin and loosen and retighten the bolts holding the frame in place. This should cure the wind noise without adjusting anything else.

    Cheers,
