No more slams: what needs to be done to make the car door close well

Sooner or later, every motorist can face such an unpleasant phenomenon as a badly closing door. If you ignore this problem from the very beginning, then later the situation with closing can significantly worsen. In order for the door to slam shut immediately and without any extra effort, it is enough to make a simple modernization. After it, there will be no more "springing".

What you need: file, pliers, tin solder

So, the work will take 20-30 minutes. There is nothing fundamentally difficult in modernization, so even a beginner can cope with the task. The first step is to remove the fastener, thanks to which the door clicks into place. Next, you need to restore it. To do this, we carry out cleaning of the outer side in the place where the solder will be applied. A file with fine grain or a file will help in this work.

The second step is to warm up the tin solder. To do this, you can use a burner or an ordinary gas stove. The metal will melt in just a few minutes. As soon as this happens, apply tin to the previously cleaned outer side of the fastening loop. For convenience, it is recommended to hold the part with pliers. When the tin hardens, the restored part must be reinstalled.

As a result, we get a restored mount, which will again be able to ensure the correct snapping of the lock on the car door. Finally, it is worth noting that before taking on such work, you must first diagnose the problem door. In particular, you need to make sure that the closure problems are dictated by the wear of the mount, and not by the knocked down frame or loose hinges. It will not be superfluous to make sure of the integrity of the locks.
