Hi,
98 Marea Weekend 1.6 petrol.
So, the passenger door is dropping an inch or so when its opened, and climbs back up onto the lock when closed. I've attached a diagram
I suspect 'A' is broken/worn. I went to a dealer and got a hinge piece for 15 quid. I dont think its gonna work though because the piece he sold me needs to be welded to the door at 'D'. So thats useless, im not welding!
Is it possible to disconnect 'C' and 'B' ? On the piece I bought 'C' is a rivet, and on the car 'B' seems pretty stiff....
Any ideas? Im afraid if I leave it the lock will eventually break, or the door...
Thanks!
Stephen
