Hi everyone,
I noticed a few days ago that my passenger door looked like it hasn't been closed properly. I checked it and shut it again but it didn't sit flush with the seal. The door still locks, but when driving I can hear wind noise and outside noises louder than usual which obviously means it hasn't shut properly.
Anyone know what this might be? I can't post pictures just yet as I'm currently at work, but I can supply some if needed later on.
The seal looks intact and the rubber around the door seems fine too.

Re: Passenger door slightly open (still locks)
You might need to adjust the staple (the loop on the B pillar) to pull the door tight.

I agree the loop has moved.
loosen off the torx bolts a touch and tap with hammer gently
Close door re adjust or tighten up.

You're both geniuses! I never even thought of checking that.
Thanks both, I've got it fixed now. Didn't need to tape it with a hammer as the bracket was pretty much hanging off. The torx screws were pretty much hanging off and extremely loose.
Thanks very much for your help, you've saved me!
