When i close either front door it just rubs on the skirt at the front near the wing, has anyone elce had this happen,
There are two way i could fit it, either cut out the offending bit of skirt or put a self taping screw in to hold it down

Wear trousers instead...
Seriously though, just stick a screw in there.

It the top of the door perfecly inline with the rear quarter top bit? If not then hinges have worn / need adjusting to raise door back up...this is normally the cause.
If not then the skirt must be high, so just screw it down!
