knackered hinges on a 5 door?
« on: 02 May 2011, 19:40 »
has anybody had a problem with the hinges on a 5 door?

all i seem to read about is the 3 door.

i had to move the latch towards the car so the door shut tighter as i get water coming in through the door seal and i got a breeze while driving!

I don't think it's knackered hinges, more them needing adjusting over time
