Re: [DML] Hydraulic Doors on DeLorean?

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxx>]

I agree that the DeLorean door design is excellent as it is. Hydraulics or
pneumatics would not be an improvement.

Often DeLoreans with chronic drooping doors need a torsion bar adjustment.

Remember, many cars have had door guides, stronger window actuators, beefier lock
solenoids, and other parts added to their doors since they left the factory.
These added weight, and without a torsion bar adjustment it will automatically
cause the doors to droop. My personal suspicion is that many DeLoreans have had
their doors modified without an appropriate torsion bars adjustment to accomodate
the extra weight.

I know that mine is one of them.
