[DML] Re: door adjustment

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Nick - You definitely need to have the torsion bars throttled back a 
few notches.  This condition will damage the rrof structure, the T 
top, and the strut mounts.  Ideally, the doors will rise up 
gracefully, and stop just as they reach the top of the arc.  That's 
what Winged1's doors do, anyhow.  If they fling up like that, it 
means that the struts have been going bad for a long time, and 
somebody has compensated for that by tightening the bars 
progressively.  Glad things are going to work out on the frame to 
lower control arm interference.
