    i just noticed this today while i was driving to work. there is a 5-10mm gap btween the door and the car. its just at the top of the door card or the bottom of the window. the only thing is the top and the bottom line up correctly. you can see through the gap as you drive along and the road noise is terrible. is there any brackets that can be adjusted or moved to get rid of the gap? thanks in advance for any advice. cheers.

    Pictures would help. How long have you had the car? have you only just noticed this?

    pictures would help. if I interpret the language properly, the door's been previously forced as in forced entry to access the pin.

    is that "car" is you mistyped "card"?

    i will upload photos soon. there are no signs what so ever that it was ever broken into or forced open.

    The doors are quite flimsy on Saxos if it's bent you could probably bend it back into shape by pulling/pushing on it with a friend to hold it still

    tried dat but no joy, might fiddle around with the latch and lock and see if that helps.
