Defender rear door hinge alignment


Recommended Posts

Somewhere I've read an article on how to set up the rear door hinges to make the door shut correctly, having had everything apart.

I have searched the tech archive at length (got distracted plenty of times in the process) but can't find what I'm looking for.

Can anyone direct me to a procedure known to work?

Thanks.

I can't see that it's too difficult to do - the hinges all have ball centres so they are self-aligning. Surely it's a case of putting it together with the bolts only semi-tight, closing the door and then loosening and re-tightening the bolts so that everything lines up OK when the door is closed.

That's what worked for me, anyway!
