Defender door hinge alignment

Mark13 · May 11, 2018

I'm going to be replacing all my door seals and the drivers catch this weekend. While I'm doing it I was wondering if there is a way of changing the door alignment, I think my drivers doors is about 2 or 3mm too low. It's not very much I know but it would be nice to correct it if I can. If there is alignment adjustment what is the procedure in aligning the doors?

What kind of handles you got? Lift up type or push button?
Ed: Not all door seals are the same, OEM good quality or blue box carp ...

The could do with rising about 3mm (drivers door)

You leave the door where it is and adjust the body to suit

Or move the hinges up on the bulkhead

I always thought tratter doors were realigned by opening the door, placing a length of fence post int door apperture, then slamming the door shut. Open the door to release wood after slamming.
