I am re-assembleing a 46 chevy. I have the original drivers side mirror arm, complete with a screw in it to stop it swinging to far forward.

Problem, the mirrir arm crushes the body before the door is fully opened. Took out the screy after it nicked the paint ;-((

I am thinking of trimming off the flat at the end of the arm to give the door some more room to open.

I have the same problem but wors on the passanger side.

Any one else had similar probelms.

The body shop did build up the hinge a lot, and it is catching, but I do not think that that is the core problem.
