Hi all you third gen gods....


My drivers door of my 87 bird will stick out slightly when closed. The end by the hinges is the one that is partially protruding. This causes some annoying wind noise when driving as the door is actually acting like a scoop. The end by the handle closes fine, and is flush with the rest of the car. How can I adjust this?

thanks!

 

at first it sounded like your doors are starting to sag, but if it closes fine by the handle that wouldnt be the case, see if the hinges are ok, i would bet that it has to do with them, not teh bushings. maybe the hinge is separating from the door?(weld broke?)

 

Yea check your hinges man, it might be loose or rusting or something. If its sticking out theres definately something wrong. Those big door cause problems for hinges my ol cars were a little rusted and it dropped a little when it opened the door.

 

Yeah guys, thanks, I'll have to pull that door off now too. ::sigh:: I hate playing with those doors! But hey, gotta do what ya gotta do!
