A Not-So-Instant Replay: Part III

I got the doors fixed up this weekend, adjusting the door-to-quarter gap for width and flatness, as well as the door-to-rocker gap for consistency and flatness. When the hinges were moved (pretty considerably), I then put a steady bead of permanently flexible, clear silicone along the top and leading edge of the hinges for waterproofing. (Originally, this area was covered in factory "goop" brushed on to seal it before paint.)

The worked gaps are much better now, and the doors open and shut just great, particularly the passenger door. On the passenger door I also was able to close that gap by the handle pretty well. Since the door was too far in at the upper left corner, I loosened the hinge bolts on the door and pushed in the lower right corner. The lower right corner was a little too far out anyway, and this popped out the opposite offending edge.












The funny thing is that the side windows are perfect now. They fit just great without any modifications. They were a bit sloppy before, but moving the doors tightened the window gaps just right.
