Thank you for this video! Extremely helpful and one of the better explanations on YT! I am curious, you don't mention the striker installation or adjustment. At what point in the process do you deal with the striker? I see that the striker is removed during adjustments. Assuming this happens after all other adjustments? Would love to hear your approach.

Great video. My door is outboard at the top rear and inboard at the bottom rear. I'll try the hinge to door adjustment.

Just brought home a '64 Catalina 2+2 from resto/body shop. The gap to front fender is fair, probably should have been wider. I installed new door weatherstrip, but haven't closed the door all the way with the resistance and concern about that fender gap. It looks like it's even closer now. I'm concerned with it rubbing my new paint. Is that accurate, the weatherstrip will push the door toward the fender meaning I need to readjust? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the very clear explanations. The issue I have with my 1968 Camaro passenger side door is that the body shop inserted shims between the upper hinge and the cowl. I am not sure why they put them there (maybe they did not understand the principles you explained). Fact is, if I remove them and fasten the top hinge to the cowl, the lower rear corner of the door comes far out about 7/16". Put the shims back in it still leaves the corner come out about 1/4". Appreciate any advice you can give.

It is possible the door was skinned and with a twist in it . It is possible to twist by rolling window down and placing a wood block in top of rear jamb and putting pressure on the lower part of the door ,but you can also damage worse if not carfull

@@Americansupercar thanks, I was considering this. There seems to be some tension in the lower left part of the pass. door. The glass is coming out before I attempt to reverse the twist. Hope it works, if carefully done.

@Americansupercar I've been looking for this kind of explanation, thanks. But that principle applies for all car doors? I don't have a super car but it's for my cargo van. There is a gap on the top rear end corner that causes loud wind noise. Looking forward for your helpful thoughts. TIA

I have a cargo van that making a lot of noise. Driver side door top has a gap towards the back corner.

@Chokani 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for the video. I have a problem of the door still not sitting right. Placing shims on the hinge to door, does not make any difference. There's a slight difference between hinge to door, which makes me think that either the a-pillar is warped or the doo, worse scenario both. Is ot possible to determine which is the warped part without special equipment? I hope you will be able to help.

How do ypu adjust the bottom door side hinge being they are Phillips head and half the hinge is in the way

@philsomers1772 5 ай бұрын

What kind of car are we talking about ,assuming with Phillips head bolts its a Nova ,if there tight it is difficult to get to the cowl bolts with out removing the fender and you will probably need and inpact screw driver .

What if you were replacing the quarter panel? How would you know where to set the door the align the fender and quarter panels?

@Americansupercar 5 ай бұрын

Change the 1/4 first it will dictate the door location

@benedictbarker8569 5 ай бұрын

I want to make the bottom of go in, whilst bringing the top out (i.e. rotate the door slightly clockwise). Would this mean tightening the top hinge, and loosening the bottom?

@Americansupercar 5 ай бұрын

Need more info are we talking about front bottom rear bottom or whole bottom?

@benedictbarker8569 2 ай бұрын

Just seen this. The rear of the door towards the back wheel arch is sticking out too far at the bottom. The rest of the bottom of the door aligns okay as you move towards the front of the door by the front wheels
