(sorry, wrong) Re: [DML] door adjustment

["Dan RC30" <Danrc30@xxxx>]

Sorry David, no offense, but you're wrong on both parts here.

First of all, I spoke with Rob Grady from PJ Grady about my door alignment, 
and he said that there should be no grease on the pegs. That area should be 
totally dry, as well as the latch area. I know this because I did grease 
mine up, and he pointed it out to me that the first thing I had to do was 
clean them from any grease.

Secondly, if you remove a peg completely, the back plate will not fall into 
the pontoon. I know this because I removed mine. If yours fall behind, 
something is broken in your car. The pegs can be removed to ensure that the 
door is aligned with the body correctly. Then, if it is, you can re-install 
the pegs (one at a time) and align them with the door latches so the door 
closes properly.
