I previously encountered an issue with the door not closing properly, especially with the Chery Tiggo 8 model, where the door latch was sometimes too loose or misaligned. I adjusted it myself, which was quite convenient. First, prepare a suitable wrench or screwdriver, locate the screw securing the latch on the door frame, and loosen it slightly. Then, gently adjust the latch position, try closing the door to check for proper alignment, and retighten the screw. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid scratching the paint or stripping the screw. Test the door opening and closing several times during adjustment to ensure smooth operation without any noise. If the latch movement is too limited, it might be restricted by the screw hole; you can use a small hammer for slight adjustments but be cautious. After adjustment, remember to periodically check if the screw has loosened to prevent the issue from recurring. The entire process is simple and cost-effective, taking about 10 minutes, but requires careful attention to ensure safety.

When adjusting the door latch, I recommend being cautious as it involves safety. I once tried adjusting it myself, and the door didn't close properly on the highway—it was terrifying. The Tiggo 8's latch is fixed on the door frame, and usually, the issue is caused by loose screws or misalignment, leading to an improperly closed door. You can try this: use a wrench to loosen the screws, gently move the latch, test the door closure, and adjust the position until it fits properly, then tighten the screws. But be careful—if adjusted too much, the door might not open or could cause wind noise at high speeds. I usually go to a professional repair shop. They have the experience and precise tools to check whether it's a latch issue or another problem, like a faulty lock mechanism that needs replacement. Safety comes first—don't skimp on this. Letting a professional handle it is much more reassuring.
