Hard Door Closure Issue on Audi A4 B6 2002 Post Window Replacement: Possible Causes?

Hello. Subject related to audi a4 b6 2002. Namely, I had a broken window in the driver's door and after replacing the window and folding a problem appeared ... namely the door closes hard, i.e. you have to hit it hard. Already before replacing the glass it was so that these doors closed a little harder but there was no tragedy and now it's a failure, you have to bang like a mother-in-law. And when opening you have to press harder and feel like something on the bolt because when you open the door you feel that they are sharply releasing. I took apart the bacon again to check if I was not arguing before ... and everything is turned up, screws in their places. Anyone have an idea what could go wrong? Could they have slightly left the door? It seems to be a bit lowered but the passenger looks similar and closes slightly.

Hello, please check the position of the hinges in relation to the body and if it turns out that it is good, then adjust the position of the glass guides [the car was not beaten on this side?]

Open the door and try to close it not by slamming but push it in the closing direction. I had the same problem and it turned out that the hinged door fell down. As I pushed them towards closing, it was felt and you can see that the door on the threshold as if sliding and gently rising to its position. My hinge was made so much that it ended up being replaced. But after the exchange everything works fine.

Yes, the only place in the car where it was made is on this side. But this is the lower part of the rear fender and in a small area. The rest of the car does not move. I just don't know what to do or play with the hinges and there is a chance that it will distract them or unscrew the arm holding the glass and re-attach it. The worst is the effect with something as if it held them firmly and when pressing the handle, it releases strongly and forcefully.

But adjusting the hinges is a simple matter, just drop them a little and close the door, you'll see if they change position. Then this resistance should disappear.

Eh, gentlemen, it really has nothing to do with the glass. Although not, he actually has. Surely the author, assembling the glass, got up from his lap, holding the door. Which only made the earlier vulnerability worse Now to adjust the hinge, as long as the door moves during the test proposed by a colleague

If the door does not move, then the lock element itself, mounted in the post, for adjustment, not the door.

I did as you said and the threshold does not change. As for what my colleague wrote, it's partly true, i.e. I didn't get up for it but when I pulled this arm out of the glass I didn't unscrew one screw and pulled it on a bit but rather up. Now I replaced the window control panel because the button failed me badly and I have stripped my bacon. Is it really nothing related to the windshield? Apparently everything folded together perfectly. As for this bolt in the post, it did not change because the screw is knocked down strongly, that shock.

The bolt did not move but if the hinged door fell, the lock could change its position relative to the bolt. For me, just before replacing the hinge, you could even hear the seals creaking in the door when driving on uneven surfaces. Like the door was closed and it seemed that they were sitting as they should after closing and yet something even after closing did not fit.

The bolt did not move, but the hinges have fallen and now you have a problem. It is the bolt that locks the door.

Oh, if my brother returns from work, we will try to adjust them on hinges. As if someone needed info on how to replace the glass control panel and how to remove the bacon, I will help

Added after 56 [minutes]:

The breakdown has been partially repaired. The fault was a small oversight when folding I mean, I was unfastening such a plastic as if a triangle blinded the mirror mounts. When folding the left part instead of giving it under the gasket, I did it on it so that it did not fold and stood out which resisted. He even scratched the body a bit. After folding again, the door closes as it did before. Ie much lighter but not yet like the others, but it's 100% a matter of hinged positioning. Thanks for advice

It's nice that it worked, but still grab the door slightly open and move them up and down, if there will be a lot of slack or even knocking, then the hinges have to be replaced.
