    My drivers door (3 door model) sits proud approx 5-7mm from the bottom to halfway up - looks to be open from certain angles

    I was thinking of ajdusting the latch but as it's just the lower half that wouldn't work so i guess it needs bending 😞

    Yes the top seems level its just the trim and bottom half, how can it be fixed then, a new door!? Only brought a month ago

    Is it a manufacturing fault?

    This is also the drivers door.

    Is this a 2nd hand 2017 car you have just bought? if it was me and it works properly then i would be tempted to leave it. you could go to and from the dealers multiple times with them adjusting it and then finding it has got worse in the way it works.

    it looks as though it just needs the hinges adjusting slightly

    Yes second hand, brought from dealership not even year and half old!

    its been to the dealership and sent to the body shop and this is how it still looks! It’s strange as the top of the door plastic surround at top of window seems to line up ok with its just the bottom of the door and the trim. Also seetms very noisy when driving as though window or door is open slightly! 

     

    Thanks
