Hey guys, i got my T-panel/passenger door rubbing it fixed. in case anyone is wondering: the reason the doors hit the T-panel is probably not due to the horizontal alignment of the panel. rather, it is a consequence of the T-panel being too LOW! i talked to DMCJoe the other day and he told me that from the factory, there were a couple of foam strips that helped support the T-panel on the door hinge box, which runs the length of the doors and the hinges are bolted to it. anyway, over time these foam strips deteriorate, leaving the T-panel lower than it is supposed to be. the doors now hit the panel about 2/3 of the way up. sure enough, my foam was gone. Joe told me go to Home Depot and get some of the insulation you get for doors - it's about 3/4" thick, 1/2" wide, with a self-adhesive side to it. i just ran two long strips the length of the T-panel, then a couple more perpendicular to them in the middle. i then mounted the T-panel and checked the doors - perfect!! the only hitch was that the foam was a little bit too thick for the panel, it actually pushed it up TOO high. fortunately i'm a small guy and i took my shoes off and carefully slid onto the roof of the car and used my body weight to press the T-panel downward and compress the foam. after a couple minutes of this, it was the right height. best of all, it didn't even cost me more than $1.50 to fix it!! i just have one question - what is the best way to bend the 4 tabs back down on the T-Panel? i used a flathead screwdriver to open them, but now i have to close them, but i dont want to break or scratch anything... anyone got a good way to do it?
