Adjusting doors, 29 roadster

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

The issue is not with the hinges. It is the Seat Trim Rails are not correct.

To correct this, install a couple pieces of threaded rod between the Top Socket mounts. Then by threading the nuts outward or inward will change the width of the quarter panel. This opens or closes the gap at the bottom. Then when the Center Trim Rail Wood (A40810-A) and the Side Trim Rails (A-40811-A & 40812-A) are glued together, at that point when they form the 'U' shape and are fastened to the upper deck and quarters, it provides the brace to hold the quarter panels.

Also, if your car has new doors, -or repaired doors, the outer skin must be properly crimped on -or tack/spot welded in multiple places so that the Door becomes rigid. If the Doors are properly crimped (-or welded), you should not be able to bend or twist them to form them to the curvature of the Lock Pillar. If you can bend/twist them, they will never stay in the shape you bend them to.
