I read the maintenance manual and it said to pull the bottom of the door in, you have to bend the hinges. In this old post, some said to use a 2x4 block to bend the whole door. Where do you put the block? Wouldn't this hurt the door panel? I'm going to take pictures of the one door I have installed with a good gap at the bottom that I can't figure out how to align it. AD Door alignment Thanks for the help. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 | | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | To get my right side door to line up after swapping hinges I had to heat the straps red hot top and bottom and then man-handle it into position. This was done only after all other adjustments were attempted. Doors work fine now. This method though is not suitable it you have everything already painted. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 257 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 257 | Chuckthetruck, You seem to have been here before. I took a close look at my right door this afternoon. With no weatherstripping installed yet, only the rear bottom of the door is sticking out. How do I fix that?
Thanks,
