The rear doors on my Golf are hardly ever used but when attempting to close it the other day it failed to shut. It would close normally until about 1" remained. It would feel almost like I had trapped the seatbelt in the door. No obstruction was visible and after gentle manipulation on the handle (particularly upwards ) during this last inch it is possible to close every time.
It doesn't look like the door has dropped - Certainly a problem I've had in the past on some very old 3 door cars.
What could be wrong?
Could the striker plate have moved or something - As far as I can see it is secure and the catch mechanism 'appears' to locate normally. Can anything else be adjusted?
Cheers
Brian
