Anyone out there who changed from clamshells to barn doors? I have done this.
My problem is this: I drilled my hinge holes in the pillars exactly in the indents where they would have been from the factory. I then slid in the hinges and doors from a rust free matching set. My passenger side fits almost perfectly. However, driver's door is 3/16 to 1/4 inch lower than the passenger door with a gap of 1/4 inch too much in the center. It also touches the pillar edge on the left. The hinges are not worn.
Do the hinges have to be shimmed or bent with heat? That seems kind of drastic. Am I overlooking something obvious here?
