 Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 1:21 pm Post subject: Z3 Passenger Door sticking |
 |
|
My passenger-side door is sticking a bit. The colder it is, the worse it sticks. To open it , I just have to push downwards gently while I pull back on the handle, and it snaps open perfectly.
The car has never been in an accident of any sort. I've owned it for less than a year. Any ideas? |

Do the edges of the door still appear to line up with the adjacent body lines?
Clean the door "rubber" seals and the jamb they seal against, all around the door.
Lube the hinges and latch.
Look at the striker bar that the latch closes on, is it slightly loose? see any uneven wear?

| Try some light grease on the door post and the mechanism on the door that catches on it. |
