Re: Door Alignment

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Although the door hinges can be adjusted you should under normal 
circumstances never EVER do that. Unless the car has been in an 
accident, someone already adjusted them incorrectly or a door has
been 
removed or changed it is RARE to require adjusting the hinges. With 
that said as you close the door slowly using pressure in the center 
of the door it should contact both front and rear pins simultaniosly. 
Also the pins should enter the locks in the center. This is a little 
hard to see because the door is moving in an arc. Use a flashlight
and 
move the door slowly and observe how it meets the pin. If adjusting
it 
won't fix it you may have to enlarge the hole in the fiberglass to 
give yourself a little more room for adjustment. Work slowly and in 
little steps, don't make large changes. Mark everything before you 
start so you have someplace to go back to if you completly "screw it 
up". You should have either the plastic or metal guides, if you don't 
order and install them. When properly adjusted the door should line
up 
with the other sheet metal and shouldn't move if you press down on it 
after it is closed. Stay away from the torsion bar, a careless
scratch 
or nick and it WILL break.
