It hangs out too high up top and is too far in at the bottom. Also my gap isn't consistant. I can get the panel halfway good until I tighten everything up. Are there any tips someone could offer or should I have someone who knows what they're doing look at it? I'm running out of booze. Thanks, Jon

Thanks, Jon I've installed a few hundred doors over the past 35 years, maybe I can help. Since I know nothing about what stage of assembly your car is in, or why you are adjusting your door, I have to ask a few questions. Is the front end assembled, both fenders and hood? Have you changed the door or hinges? Are the hinges worn? Has the 1/4 panel been replaced? Is the rubber door seal installed? Is the striker installed? Steve www.clarkclassic.com
