When I had the cab blasted, indeed, the entire outer cowl had a crease mark. I THOUGHT I accounted for that when re-assembling cowl area but... guess not well enough. Too late to address it directly, but I have found a solution... refer to pictures below... If we allowed more space for the spring to retract, as the door is closed, then the upper hinge would come in closer to the body, allowing the door to completely close. I THINK I have proved the concept (see before and after pictures)... I proved that lengthening the spring run upon closure, resulted in less "spring out" of the door when it is closed.
I could keep lengthening the spring runs (top and bottom spring), until door closes without a finger push, but I don't know the consequences of doing that.
At this point, I think the weight of a fully loaded door will negate the tendency of the springs to "push back" when fully closed.
