Installed new doors/ Alignment Problems
Hey Guys
I found a sweet pair of doors on craigslist in alot better shape than mine. After installing them I have severe alignment problems. Do i have to take the fenders off to align them? Or is there another trick I dont know about.
Thanks

Shouldn't have to remove fenders. It's just trial and error until u get it figured out and they make body shims in case they need to be used

I was thinking along the lines of being able to access the hinge bolts with the door closed, making it easier to tighten them with the door shut.

2X. It's TONS easier with the fenders removed since ya can access the hinge bolts with the door closed.

Yeah man, no problem. Trying to adjust a door with the fender installed is like standing in a bucket and trying to pull yourself up by its handle.
