Re: Jacking a door ???

A large truck started to back up, as my door was opened, & their plastic fender pressed against my open door, until I SCREAMED at the idiot to stop.

The GM body shop did the "2x4" trick so I could close my door. It worked.
( Then my insurance paid to get my door fixed)

2 other issues to get the door to close nice.... (1) - Check the condition of the lock/latch on the door.

2) - Confirm the pin on door frame is straight & no cracks on body at base of pin. ( I had mine welded at body around base of pin)
