RE..........Panel Gaps & Adjusting body panels

["jamesrguk" <dmc12@xxxx>]

Hi all,

*Panel Gaps*

On the subject of panel gaps I have found that with my car in the 
winter the bonnet sits pround of the fenders and in the summer as 
the temperature rises the bonnet sits in line with the fenders.
I beleive that this is either due to the fact the the rubber seals 
found on the bonnet and doors go harder in the cold weather or 
because areas such as the bonnet are such large peices of stainless 
they expand slightly in the heat.

I spent ages adjusting my bonnet and then 6 months later it looked 
wrong then what do you know along comes the summer and it is perfect 
again. Weird.

*Adjusting Panels*

Stian, are you sure that you don't want to just try adjusting the 
doors again, I would have thought having anouther go at the doors 
would be much more appealing than adjusting the front and rear 
fenders which will most probably lead to you having to adjust the 
bonnet as well.
