Driver door banging in door Jam? Help?
I have a 87 GTA, when i drive down a road that has few bumps on it, My driver door seems like its open the way it bangs in the door jam.Their is no play in the door hinge .I checked it by opening the door and tried to move it up and down, there is no movement. The door pins seem to be find. Any help would be great.What else should i look for??

These cars are not very rigid, especially if you have T tops.
There are wedges in the jambs...about the height of your handles. One on the door and one on the body, with little shims to space them into adjustment.
Make sure they are hitting eachother

no prob.
Y'ever notice while driving, if your tops are out, and windows down...and you sight down where the door meets the quarter, through the r-view mirror... you can physically see the shift of the body
