When I picked my Delorean after a years long worth of restoration, I was dissapointed in the fact that the doors didn't open up like I remembered, same with my hood. I thought this was unnacceptable and that a new set of struts should be tried. Sure enough th doors flew up and bounced nicely. I am also in Michigan, my doors still fly up perfect even in 50 degree temp. I have a feeling there are reject struts for sale unknowingly at the various vendors or may just be too old. I have a friend with new DMCH struts, his doors droop. I have new DMCH struts and they operate perfect. Specialty Auto says they have the best around and they are warranteed for 5 years. I would buy a couple sets to try. I am anxious to read your new post regarding the outcome. I bet you will uncover the mystery of the drooping doors. The torsion bar should not be touched unless you have exhausted every option. Question thou, When cleaning the inside of my windows, sometimes I hold the door down half way, I noticed oil/gas spew from the piston. I am sure this takes a little life away from the piston when this happens. Byron --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Lacy <heylacy@xxxx> wrote: > > Hi, I bought a set of new struts earlier this year. The temp was 55 and one door drooped lower than the other, so I switched them and the opposite door drooped. The vender says I need to adjust rods but I think I got a odd match set of struts. Do you think I should ask for a repacement strut before I fool with door rod adjustments? Should I send them back for refund and buy temperature adjusted struts? I'm in Mich. and the temp went to 55 and they are drooping already. Looks really low tech when getting out somewhere. One more thing, I had a chance to switch my new struts with another D owner and his worked fine on my car. Why don't all newer cars' struts droop in cold weather?
