197 doors

[BA Baracus]

Hi, first post here!
I bought a 197 just before Christmas, great car btw

But now I've noticed the doors seem to have dropped they still close fine, but the most noticable thing is the rubbing strips dont line up.
I did read in Top Gear mag and Auto Express who both had long term test cars, that they both had an ill fitting door or 2, so wondered if it was a known issue? has anyone else had this?

The cars under warranty for another 18 months or so, so I'll take it back to Renault, but just thought I'd check up on it here.

Cheers,
Mike

Passenger door has dropped slightly on my 182 aswell. Can tell when closing, it makes a different noise.

It was the strike pin on mine (the bolt that the door latches too) It could be this, which literally is a two min job (undo, adjust etc) I took mine to a Morgan specialist lol as its only round the corner, few moments later it was done!!! Slipped him some beer money!. Could also be the hinges, which again is no biggy. Take it to a Renault bodyshop rather than a garage as they are used to lining up bodywork etc. If you dont trust Renault, any decent bodyshop will sort it for a few ££££
