Hi,

My Travellers rear doors are slightly crooked :cry:, preventing it from closing properly.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a case of loosing the bolts on the hinges straightening the doors and tightening the bolts back up?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Allow for temperature and humidity changes which cause the wood to swell, also the thickness of the door seals. I find that a well placed boot just above the bottom catch works well.
There is a little bit of movement on the hinges.

Mine seem to have swoolen up these last few weeks also - I just put it down to the weather....

Best check if the back of the Traveller is 'true'! Measure the diagonals - they should be the same! If the car is lozenge shape - better to sort that out rather than force the doors to fit!
