    Hello,

    I recently purchased a 1988 328 GTS (Can be seen at another thread). The passenger side door has always been tough to close, you have to slam/push the the door to get it to close correctly, which is not good for any door. I gave it a slight jack adjustment, all body line and gaps are good. I adjusted the jam strike up a little bit, it seemed like it was hitting the alignment pin. Door still tough to close. I removed the door jam strike completely to look at the alignment and try to find the issue. With the strike not in place the door would not stay closed, I found that the door is getting bound at the front pillar. The weather stripping is compressed (see photos). The drivers side door weather stripping is not compressed.

    If I move the front of the door out the body lines will not line up.

    Any thoughts or help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    J

    Check the Door hinge pins. Had to replace them on both my GTB/GTS QVs. Royal PITA to do without chipping the paint on the door but well worth the effort. Some of the best advice I've ever received here was, " don't get in a hurry". :)
