   Yet another problem with my saxo vtr. This time the problem is that when ever i go to shut my passenger door it always bounces off the striker. it takes like 10 times for the door to finally shut. i have notice that if i shut the door slowly or push against with my hands it shuts with no problem but when i am driving the door opens it self. When i mean the door opens i mean its on the striker but open on the 2nd lacth. The door seems fine as in it has not dropped and no weld are broken.
   
   
   i have searched on here and this is what i have tried...
   
   1.moved the striker about
   2.fitted a new lock mechanism (from breakers)
   3.sprayed wd-40
   
   i have done all of this and still no luck. please help.
   
   thanks

   The striker is too far in on the b pillar mate. Move it out towards the door.
