2005 Daily Door Problem; Side Loading Door

Hi Guys,

I have a 2005 35S12HPI extra high roof and extra long wheelbase with what seems to be a common problem with this model, the side loading door does not close tightly into the body when shut. It seems to hang out a little at the top resulting in rattling when underway and it also lets rain in at speed. Does anyone know of a fix for this please other than buying a new door set, thanks

Mike

hi there,

i have had the same on the side and back doors and fixed it by losening the door striker plate (5mm ish hex key..? i think) and moving the plate around before tightening it back up.

a bit of trial and error was needed but eventually got it right!

you can tell pretty much from outside if the door looks closed properly or not but from inside (in the dark) you can see light comming in where the door is not contacting the rubber seal properly

another idea i had, which have not had time to try yet was to fit a pull handle inside the door, right at the top so that i could pull the door hard shut until the lock clicks right shut..would only be able to shut either/or the side or back door this way as i have a steel bulkhed and would end up with no way to get out if i did it....!!lol

Over centre catch is an excellent idea,,,my van already had one fitted when I bought it
Obviously it can on be used from the inside

Not sure if you worked it out - but mine was the missing rear catch.

I've got exactly the same problem, my side door rattles a lot and it looks like the catch is broken, does anybody have any idea where to purchase a new catch?
