Re: [DML] Door alignment



It is very likely that it is the T panel that needs to be adjusted, not the doors. The material under it tends to compress over time, causing the panel to lie too low relative to the doors. Remove the panel and place some thin foam sheeting or adhesive weather stripping between it and the plastic roof. Don't even think about disturbing the very critical and difficult door adjustments until you have tried this first.

Hi listers,

I've had my D for just a few months, and either as a result of hotter
weather or more driving, my doors have become slightly misaligned.
The top of the driver side door is scraping against the T when opened
and grooving the door (aiiieeeee!!!!) The passenger side is also
doing this, but not to the same extent. When closed, the driver door
sits about 1/4-1/2" higher than the T.


The docs indicate that I should loosen the door bolts and pull the
shims. Is this a safe operation to perform without messing with the
torsion rod? I'd like to do this myself but am a bit nervous about
screwing something up.
