Hey everyone,
My drivers side door doesnt shut right. When the door is latched, it will move around about 1/8-3/16". This doesn’t become a problem till I go over rough roads. IT IS LOUD! when the door is banging around. It seems that the door latch doesn’t hold the door tight to the bump stops. I replaced the latch and it didn’t help. I actually don’t want the door to be held against the stops because if it does, the door will not be flush with the quarter panel. I had the problem fixed temporarily by placing a 1/8” thick piece of rubber in between the bump stop & the body of the car keeping the door pushed out against the latch. How can I fix this problem? Does GM make different thickness bump stops?

 

Anybody?

 

yes GM makes all differnt size ones. Might not be from a camaro but ones from other car should work.. Junk yard

u replaced the latch what about the part that latch latches to?

 

I kinda have the same problem with mine. The driver side door will latch but sticks out a good 1/2". I can push it to where it is flush with the quarter panel but it doesn't do that on it's own. Haven't figured out why yet.

I couldn't figure out from what you said but it is too far in, like it closes too far in?

 

take a big hammer and without hiting the 1/4 hit the striker. That will move it in some. Pulling the door in

 

I dont want to move it in. If I move it in the door will not be flush sit flush with the rest of the body panels. It sits flush when its pushed out. I guess I will have to hit up the junk yards.

And yes I replaced the striker too.

 

my car does this too. i have a sneaky suspicion that its the body flexing. im havein sub frames installed as we speak so maybe this will fix the problem. ill report back.

Ive got the Macs already. The reason it bangs is that the body still flexes... But there shouldnt be that play to begin with.
