When recalls don't happen
Some Proton Gen2 owners are taking matter into their hand concerning the inability of their doors to close properly.

Paul Tan has posted a
how-to describing a simple solution for the problem on his blog.
The fix is merely a matter of loosening the latch the door connects to on the door frame and realigning it with a mark
on the frame. It seems so simple that it makes you wonder why the Malaysian manufacturer didn't issue a service
bulletin. Perhaps they did and nobody was listening.
