Guest Keith Whitbread Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi, I am hoping someone on here will be able to help my mum and I. Our ford escorts drivers side door is having issues shutting, its as if its drops when opened. Fingers crossed someone will know either how to fix this or someone who can help us. Many Thanks Frankir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RScab Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 First check all the caps when the door is closed, the caps should be the same all around the door aperture if that's OK Open the door about 6 inch's holding the door from the door handle/latch end check if there is any up & down movement, in if you can the hinge pins could be shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keith Whitbread Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 RScab thank you so much for your reply. Sadly I don't understand anything related to cars. My dad passed away 6 months ago and he would have been able to sort this problem out. Do you know anyone who would be able to look at the car in Hertfordshire? Thanks once again Frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RScab Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Sorry Frankie I don't know anyone down your way - but may be someone will But if you can get a few side pic's of the door when closed it may help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazrsturbo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Sounds like the hinge pins could be worn or the latch needs adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
