repo doors
After setting the doors and painting the cab and doors I put the door seals in and now the doors wont even close. I have ground the slot in the hinges and can't get them to work. Anyone have this problem and a cure?

Re: repo doors
You'll need to tweak the door & latch adjustments a bit again. Adding new rubber always changes the alignment a bit. Unfortunately it is mostly trial and error. Once you get the seals broke in, you may need to tweak things again.
Good luck.

Re: repo doors
new doors? Does not surprise me. FatBoys 69 and I did a set on his truck and they were HARD, It still needs a bit of alignment. Quality in this area really needs to step up.

Re: repo doors
Even on original doors when new seals are added you need to readjust. I could barely shut mine once I installed new seals. They are still going to be quite tight and you will have to close them with authority!
