Re: door question

I had the same problem. After we changed the bushings the door would not close. So we loosened the bolts closest to the door and tightened the ones on the end to "hopefully" spread the door opening, but that still did not work. Like you DURRTY I did not have any shims from the factory. So we added a couple of shims and the door worked fine... until the top came off. So now my fix will be to add a cage to give the tub extra strength while the top is off. My thinking was if it does this now on level ground without anyone inside what will happen when there is. Still not sure where we are going to tie things together yet. (waiting for my painter to prime it so the cage guy can look at it) Was thinking either to the windshield frame, or gussets to the firewall & floor, or all of them.

Love to hear more on this topic. I think we all deal with this because it was a design flaw. (my opinion)
