C30 Body : - Driver's door not flush

SteEnt · Aug 31st, 2018, 18:47

When I shut my driver's door it doesn't sit flush against the body of the car, but the passenger one does.
Is this something that happens over time with use and can it be fixed?

I had this on a Toyota Yaris.

One screw on the door latch was loose. Tightened it up and it went flush again. Not sure if this affects Volvos though.

I'll check that mate cheers. I looked at it earlier but didn't physically check it to see.
I don't think it's the hinges or anything as I have tried lifting the door up when it's open to see if the top one is loose but it doesn't budge.
It mainly affects the top half of the door as the window and seal doesn't sit fully in the rebate.
I'll grab some pictorial evidence in the morning.

If it seems tight, look around the catch plate to see if there is a dirty/clean area as it may have moved a bit but still be too tight to move by hand.
