Door and window shutline.

[steve j]

I`ve never been to keen on my passenger door and window shutline, now after the body lift to sort my outriggers, I`ve managed to get a decent shutline. I slackened the door hinges, the window guide and two bolts in the door on the glass carrier. I closed the door and put in plastic spacers along the door edge to get the desired close line, then tighten the door hinges. Next get an even line at the window guide and tighten the window guide bolts. The glass was still to high at the rear, I raised the rear of the glass and tightened the bolts, job done. Now to sort out the body rubbers, put the carpets and seats back in and a bit of a clean up and I`ll be happy.

Hi All.
I need to go through this when I fit the doors but I have good shut gaps , my problem is the door fits on the hinge side and the bottom runs out 10mm on the bottom of the door to the lock side. I know Phillpot did a cut on this so will need to look at his pictures.

Alan, I had exactly the same, I loosened off the body bolts and this put the body in a neutral position, then sorted the door. I also had unequal gaps between the front and rear screens, get the roof gaps equal and the door is easy to hang. I`m hoping that the body bolts will tighten without altering my setup.
