Passenger side sport mirror installed. Once again not a hard job with a template to locate the mirror holes and the window removed.
The area around the lock is getting bigger. I’ve applied spot putty to fill the depressions as a result of the fibreglass damage.
Next job is back on the driver’s door. The top rear lip of the door is scraping by the body pillar and taking the paint off.
The door needs to be shifted forward at the front bottom to increase the gap at the rear top. There is little gap left between the door and the front fender at the bottom so the movement will have to be slight – maybe 1/64″. It’s a long door so a little at the bottom corner will be a lot more at the top corner.
This is the top hinge bolts – two showing and two hidden on the left. I will leave the top inside bolt tight and loosen the other three.
These are the bottom hinge bolts. I have marked the bottom front bolt so that I can judge the movement. I will loosen the other three bolts – two hidden.
Of course when I loosened the lower bolt the door dropped too far. I used this setup to put a bit of upward pressure on the door while I loosened the lower bolt a bit to let the door come back up. The piston that lifts the seat is enough to move the door up without my having to try and lift the door while loosening and tightening the hinge bolt.
After a bit of adjusting I got it to where there is a good gap and the space along the front of the door is still OK.
Next – Yet more door work
