List,
I need some help (on my car!) with rehanging the doors. I am getting my car
ready to paint, and having finished the back end (trunk, fenders), I rehung
the doors (next is the front fenders and valance). Anyway, in rehanging
them, all I basically did was close the door and then bolt it in. I thought
this would be the best way to make sure that it hung right, and would shut
properly. And that seemed to be the case. HOWEVER, the "crack" where the
back of the door meets with the rear fender seems a lot larger than before,
and the door doesn't seem to "stay closed". In other words, I shut it okay,
but the door "gives" back, so that it rattles about 1/4--1/2" back and
forth. It won't open on its own, but it is annoying, and I don't remember it
doing that when I bought it and began taking it apart. The car is completely
apart, no seals on anything. Is that why? I put the door seal back in, just
to see if that was it, but it still wiggled.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
