Door closing effort

[Dbeas]

I have had my new Grenadier a bit over a month. I have had zero issues except noticing drivers door requires harder push/pull to latch fully vs all other doors.

Is there an adjustment to correct?

 

[Tazzieman]

Yes you can adjust it. It should close as precisely and solidly as an old Porsche or Benz

Adjust the door striker is what I did and it’s now perfect. Before you do this, lubricate the door latch first to see if there is any improvement.

All the doors generally required a good amount of push/pull to open and close. But they are solid when closed. Lube the hinges and latches and the latch mechanism if you can get some lube in there.

I see 2 torx on the strike. When these are loosened your saying there is play to move the position?

Yes. You can move them up, down, in and out. Ideally it should be moved down and slightly out to make the door close easier but make sure door is flush. There are markings on them to align and compare. Don’t fully tighten until you’re happy with the shut.
