Re: Leaky doors?

Start by che king the integrity of the actual door frame itself. My old doors have several cracks in the tin in the window channel area plus the hinge mount area. If I grab the door at the latch end and twist it the door is flexible enough to allow a twisting movement due to the broken structure. If yours is the same then fix that first and then get the door to fit the opening and adjust the fender to fit the door. Thats just my wY of doing it. If the fender is off you can hang the doors with the hinges loose enough to move, then close the door and adjust to fit a d tighten the hinges when done. You could read up on doctor martinsr's door adjustment bible. He has it figured out. Great job Brian. Thanks for posting those "from eperience" articles that help so many of us.
