Hi there, im new this forum and would like advice on how to adjust the drivers door on a 2002 CLIO, i have tried to adjust the catch on the door past but it hasn't worked. any help would be most appreciative

It should be possible to make small adjustments, by undoing the check strap, and slackening off (but not removing) the hinges on either the door pillar or the door itself.

This is ideally a 2-person job, so someone can help lift & support the door whilst adjustments/tightening occurs.

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

If your door has dropped there are two things that you can do.
Replace the hinge pins or give the door a heft upwards.
There is no adjustment on the hinges.

Try the second suggestion first, it's an instant fix but don't overdo it.

You may need to re-adjust the striker after the "adjustment".
