Yesterday, to try and diagnose my passenger door (doing the same thing as everybody else's, but driver's side is perfect) I removed my striker pins. I have a Nov 81 build, VIN 06960. On my car they simply unscrewed. Behind the plastic panel was a square opening allowing for adjustment. A metal bracket was behind this which the striker screwed into, it moved around freely, but was always snug up against the opening to prevent falling into the fender. At this time I also removed my inner weatherstrip, and door strut. What I found was that with the strut attached but striker pins removed, the door was PHYSICALY closing in the front of the car before the rear. After removal of the strut, the door seemed to have twisted backwards, and then the rear was actually rubbing against the rear quarter, but still very misaligned. I played around with adjusting the hinges where the door attaches w/strut attachment. This didn't help in any situation. This winter I'm probably going to remove the torsion bar and adjust the front hinge (unless this can be done safely without removing it?) Dont yell at me about how dangerous this is, because I know the procedure and have access to the propor tools (hint hint Bruce B.). I am primarily writing this to say that even though the striker pins are adustable, sometimes it really is the door itself which is mis-aligned. If I get a chance I'll take a picture of the striker pin setup on my car. Jim Reeve MNDMC - Minnesota DeLorean Club DMC-6960 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, senatorpack@xxxx wrote: > The pins are not modified.
