In the new car, doors are opened and closed easily and clearly. However, with time, the doors can be slack, delivering the car owners a lot of inconvenience. What is the door to the door and how to fix it yourself? How do I determine the door failure?
How do I determine the door failure?
The main signs that the door is in need of repair are as follows:
- when you move through the door, something's going up or razing,
- the door closes with a great effort,
- in the area of the doors to the salon falls water,
- there are scratches coming from the door.
In addition, you can determine whether you have a door failure. Open the door and climb the top and the bottom, try and roll it up-down. If there is a hatch in the hinges and attachments, it must be removed.
The reasons for the door failure may be several, the most common of which are:
- Door hinge distortion due to body geometry violation,
- door hinges,
- the weakening of the hinges.
What if the car door is closed?
It's not hard to remount the failing door, and it's a real thing to do with your hands. First, we need to figure out what the reason for the slack is, and then begin to fix the problem. For example, if the door is closed because of the wear of the axle and the hinges are still in good condition, they do not need to change, and if the loop is deformed, it is better to replace it. It is not the case that the hinges of the doors need to be adjusted.
1. The first part of the lock should be removed to make it easier to regulate.
2. Close the door and see if it is removed up or down. This problem will have to be solved by loosing the hinges and lifting a little or lowering the door itself.
3. Watch carefully at the edge of the door on which the lock is located. If it is down, loosely loosely tie the lower loop and attach one or more thin metal plates to the bottom of the hinge. If the side of the door on which the lock is located, on the contrary, rises, the same operation must be done from the top of the door hinge. The vertical position of the door should be as precise as possible.
4. If the door is too tight relative to the body, move the hinge closer to the edge. If, on the contrary, it locks out, the hinges have to be moved further towards the salon. In addition, it is necessary to control that the door is perpendicular to the ground, because otherwise it may simply be curable.
5. After the position of the door is adjusted in all directions, the lock position shall be checked. If necessary, the lock itself and the response part should also be regulated.
6. If the door has been opened and closed after all the procedures (and no extraneous sounds), the door has been successfully removed and the door is adjusted. If not, all the actions described above will have to be repeated to achieve the optimal result. Can we avoid the door failure?
Can we avoid the door failure?
You will not be able to insure your car from problems with door hinges (100%), but it is possible to delay this unpleasant phenomenon.
- Do not make too much effort to close the doors.
- Don't leave the doors open for a long time.
- Don't lean on the open doors and don't put anything on them.
- Lose the loops and locks regularly to extend their service life.
