Re: How To Fix Uneven Panel Gaps

I Just finished replacing LH cab corner, RH cab corner, rocker, outer floor patch, A and B pillar patches. When I started all this my passenger side door gap didn't look that bad. But once all the work was done it looked off. The gap between the B pillar and the door is wider than anywhere else on the truck. I never heard of the split and pry method until tonight. My problem is the guy at the paint store told me a little -evercoat rage gold- in the door jamb is fine as long as its not thicker than 1/4". So I went for it. I built it up 1/8 to 3/16. Now its in primer. What are the odds the paint will crack there? Should i go back and do it over?

P.S. the rod welded to the door method won't work for me. The door looks perfectly straight. The gap between the bottom of the drip rail and the bottom of the door is whats off. From the bottom of the rail up is good. below tapers out towards the bottom.
