Re: [DML] Re: Problem closing door (warped???)

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

Mark,

I have the exact same door problem you do only in mirror image. My
passenger door seems perfect, but my drivers door has always been a problem.
The front of my door comes down first and sits lower. The rear of the door
is hard to latch unless I karate-chop the door closed on the rear from
outside or pull the handle down and forward from inside. I had DMC Joe
adjust it last year and his son adjust it this year. It is still messed up.
Alan (his son) suggested that the hinge needs adjustment. I can tell from
the dings on the door & t-panel that a previous owner made a really bad
attempt at a hinge adjustment, so that is probably my problem. I don't
think that the problem is a twisted door. Can you say if your car has ever
been wreaked?

As for the door not lining up with the fender & quarter panel, experts say
that a properly adjusted door is adjusted to fit the fiberglass. Then the
fender & quarter panel are adjusted to align with the door.
