The one side off my cargo mat was covered in ice. I tried looking around and can only think that maybe the back door isn't closing tight enough. Is there anyway to adjust it, to get a better seal?? Thanks for the help.   sam (Dent) New Member Username: Dent Post Number: 7 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 - 01:37 pm:    there's a way to adjust it but you might need a friend to help.. you can adjust the door by loosening the bolts on the body side where the hinge isand adjust the door that way.. as for seal.. your best off to go to a auto shop and get the thickness door seal and put it on that way... heard and found out that the door seals which land rover has is not the best take care   Bruce Potier (Brucep) Member Username: Brucep Post Number: 125 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 - 08:23 pm:    My daughter said 'dad, I can see daylight through the back door'. Yep, the spare tire finally put enough pressure on those hinges to warp the alignment. I went to my dealer in in 30 minutes, my door was once again aligned. That was about 3 years ago, it is getting close for another alignment. Advice, if you have a good dealer, ask for if they can take a look and adjust it. Good luck.   John Hamblin (Jhmover) New Member Username: Jhmover Post Number: 35 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 12:37 am:    Mine did that too.....door hinges were bent.
