Rear door gap filler

[907burb]

I will start by stating i am not a body man, but try it out of necessity. I replaced my hatch/tailgate with barn doors because those were rusted and falling apart and it impossible to find new ones. Did you rebuild your hinges? Pins and bushings, so your starting with stable hinges. I had to bend my hinges in a press because the doors were touching at the top when closing. I believe after 50 plus years of abuse they bend. I only bent the tops which helped open the top and close slightly at the bottom. As stated above some shims do help move the doors. You can try 1/16 in or 1/8 inch which can move the door gap a good bit. Also, to provide input on your other question, I think you should keep the utilitarian hinges as they are. It gives the old Subs character.
