Nissan Primera P12 - Driver door shutting problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Morning guys,
Having an ongoing issue with the drivers side door.

It is getting almost impossible to shut the door properly, for some reason it never seems to latch when I am sat in the car trying to shut it, stood outside I have a better chance of it shutting. But it can take upto 20 or more attempts, and its usually just a gentle push for it to shut.

So at the moment if I am going somewhere its round to the passenger side to climb across and at 62 this is not the easiest.

So it does work normally every now and again but the majority of times it won't it just bounced off an inch or so.

I have played about with a screwdriver trying to move the latch, sprayed with wd40 etc but not sure what is actually causing it.

Once it is shut properly it the keyfob locks the door and sets the alarm normally.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it is really getting to be a bind going somewhere.

Cheers

Graham
