Passenger door sticks out a bit

[tOniies]

Does anybody know how to adjust the passenger door so it sticks in rather then it sticking out?
Do I have to take the whole door apart?

Take a pic of it?

My Accord is doing a similar thing from what it sounds like, front passenger door looks like it's not quite closed properly, needs to close in another 2mm or so to be flush. I'm told just to fully tighten the bolts on the little metal thingo that sits on the car frame and the door locks into it.

Haven't tried it yet. Sorry for the incorrect terminology.

Troy, that's correct. However, if you loosen the screws, be very sure to only _just_ loosen them and use a plastic hammer and tap the door lock latch (metal thingo) in the direction towards the inside of the car (only apply horizontal force). If you move it in any other directly, your door will not sit properly and end up looking worse.

My old '90 2.0 Si Prelude had a similar problem.

Good luck!

Yep that sounds about right, loosen it and fix position, then tighten again. I will try and let you know, thanks for the reminder on the method. :thumbsup:

what screws to loosen?

[tOniies]

the screws on the hinges i presume

[PaulsTeg]

The screws on the little silver metal bar bolted on the B-pilar (inside door frame) are the ones you want to loosen.

Just fixed it, by moving the hinges around. Will write a DIY soon.

my passenger door is hard to open if the cars on a slight lean could be the same thing hopefully it is.
