Default Door Problems

It is the strangest thing my passenger door towards the top has bowed out just a bit I noticed just a few days ago when I went through the car wash and it leaked! I don't know why it is barely noticeable I'll try to get a picture of it to show what I mean but it’s just irritating.

goto your friendly (highly experienced) neighborhood body shop and ask for some 'manual adjustment'

or if youre brave, bend it yourself

That's odd. Did it just suddenly do this? Was the door ever hit and repaired?
Seems strange that your door would just suddenly warp for no reason. Is it possible the door hinge is loose and causing the door to not fit properly?

Well I was hit and it was repaired but that was the drivers door? And it wasn't hit very hard just a light bump and scrape it did't effect my drivers door at all? strange I'll take it to the bodyshop tomorrow and see what they say?

Good Luck Nathan. Hopefully it's nothing too serious or expensive.

By The Way...
This damage disqualifies you from Monte of the Month.










Just kidding. [sm=joke.gif]

Sounds like a serious problem to me.

You need to ship the car to me. Then you won't have to worry about this nasty problem ever again.

To show how nice of a guy I am, I'll send you a "New" -? Yugo you can drive around and look cool in.

Uh, I thought Mickey and I already told you that you're not allowed to use the MCF Staff Yugo again.




We use it for beer runs and parts runs.
Last time you borrowed it, we got it back looking like this:

I like the MCF Yugo! Now THATS funny
Anyway, sounds like the keys got locked in the car, and the highly specialized service technician pryed the top of the door open and put in a blow up thingamajig to expand the door opening enough to get his specialized meat hook inside to release the door lock. Don't ask me how I know all this[&:]. Open the door up, put your knee against the door, and GENTLY pull the door top towards you, just a little at a time, until it shuts right.
