[DML] Re: Aligning Latch Pins

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In addition to what David T. wrote here, there are a few more
things to consider when your doors are in need of adjustment.

It is always good to ask WHY they need adjustment BEFORE you
adjust them, since there may be a few different root causes.

As our DeLoreans age, there is a good chance the metal roof
section can detach from the fiberglass underbody, which can
effect the position of the door opening and while at rest.
Always check into possible causes before you attempt to fix.

Below are links to related fixes, including the T-panel fix:

As mentioned often, its always good to have another person
familiar with torsion bar work assist you with your doors.

Later,
Rich W.
