traveller doors

Post by Chnnang »

the drivers door on my traveller doesn't line up properly with the bodywork, it sticks out a bit at the rear of the door. it was suggested to me that the door has been replaced at some stage with a door from a sedan. can anyone please tell me if the traveller doors are different to the sedans or is it likely to be an adjustment of the hinges?

Same door on the 2 door saloon (4 door is much shorter..) - it just needs the catch adjusting!

And possibly the window frame. There are loads of little adjustments that can be made. May even be necessary to bend the lip of the frame a little. If the door was re-skinned, it may not have been fitted correctly. By how much does it stick out, how good to you want it, and how much time do you want to spend fettling it?

thanks guys, that was the answer i hoped for, adjust it. the door has to come off as the paint has failed, it's gone like crazy paving on the surface. the rear edge sticks out from the body about 1/2" when it's closed, with a bit of luck the panel beater will sort it when they put the door back on.
thanks for your advice
