Ford Fiesta doors need adjusting?
Variant: 1.25 Style Climate 3dr
Model Year: 2008
Hi
Both of the doors on my car seem to be hanging a bit lower at the lock end. Its annoying as i think this is causing the door rubber/seal to squeak on the outside of the door frame. Are they easy to adjust?

Checked door hinges / pins for wear and lift ?

There is no corrosion or visible wear. The hinges and pins still look brand new. Also there is no play when i tried lifting the door up.
Any further thoughts?

Usually a case of adjusting the striker/catch on the inside door pillar .

Do you mean the catch that is bolted to the door pillar at the opposite end to the wing mirror?

Are the door gaps and the door alignment o.k .Has the car had any accident damage ? The striker is what the lock fits into on the door pillar . If you are not sure / confident in what your doing , leave alone and get a bodyshop to check ,adjust or rehang if needed .

No damage that i am aware of. The car was bought from a dealer with 1 year ford warranty still but i bought it from a fiat dealer so have to take it to them and let them deal with ford. I f you look along the door the two sections of plastic trim on the door dont match up completely and the gap between the bottom of the door and the sill is smaller at the door handle end. Not by much 1-2mm but it is annoying me
