Is my door warped - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

zackary027 · 05-19-2011, 09:37 PM

got these doors off a wrecked truck but on the cab the looked fine was a rear collision. cant find anywhere on the door that looks bent but as you can see from the picture the top of the door is too far from the cab, while the body lines closely line up and door seem lines up everywhere else. any suggestions?

Well theres something there on the edge of the quarter panel.. im guessing someone might off pulled on the door... my passenger door is similar to this one.

I worked a chevrolet dealership and my 01 silverado had a bit of wind noise and i was about to take a 2 hr drive... i asked him if he could work some majic on it and he said do i have a 10$ bill and im like yeah, so he rolled down the window, put the bill in the door seal and shut the door.. wiggled the bill freely... opened it up and did just what spudz said. i was like ??!! really... put the bill back in there and lol it worked.

looks like there might be some body filler on that door towards the center.. that trick will help but it may have a slight warp to it

zackary027 · 05-20-2011, 12:45 AM

there is some body filler i had a dent in it, not finished yet but looks whole lot better than before
