Anyone else had a problem with there doors not closing properly. My doors rattle when I go over bumps or corrugations. Its especially the back door and I think its because of the spare wheel. I think it might be the door seals but not sure.

Could it be anything else?

Cheers

2005 Jimny. Can you adjust the hinges to make the door fit tighter?

The GV's are known for this. Plus there's no adjustment in the striker etc. The saggy door has also lead to leaking when raining in my case. What was recommended to me was using a MFH (medium f*cking hammer) to move the striker plate a small amount.

I didn't do this but ended up buying some sticky-backed rubber strip from Clarke Rubber to seal against the backdoor seal. This has stopped the leaking and the rattle.
