After a long break from adjusting my doors on my truck, I'm back at it again. This time I'm looking for perfection. My passenger side door is a victim of some damage due to someone in the past closing "something" in the door jamb. I have fixed the cosmetic damage, but of course I'm sure the door is still tweaked some. I purchased aftermarket door hinges (Made in Taiwan) which I am now realizing was a mistake, the lower hinge is good, but the upper had to get modified to achieve the desired adjustment. So far it seems like my door gap project is off to a great start, tomorrow the modified upper hinge will be fitted. Anyone else have any problems with the aftermarket hinges available for our trucks?
I have also purchased aftermarket door latches, which have baffled me right from the start. The latches installed fine but work horribly; the door actually latches too early. When the door is latched I can actually push the door closed tight another ½ inch or so. It appears that the latches are non-adjustable, am I wrong, if so anyone know how to adjust them? Or should I just scrap them and rebuild my old latches?
