Drivers Door
Hi
My wife has a 91 Clipper that I have been 'sorting'!
I am just about done; however I don't seem to be able to align the drivers door correctly. At the front end of the door the side trim is about 2-3mm lower than the trim on the front wing. Both trims are fitted correctly and I have tried adjusting the door hieght by slacking the securing bolts and jacikng the door up before retightening.
The only thing I can think of doing is removing the dor elongating the holes and shimming the top one so as not to misalign the back edge of the door.
Any Ideas??
Cheers

You might do better taking the wing off and adjusting that. How does the door fit in the windscreen frame as this'll give you a clue about door sag.
Is there a big gap beteen the hinge tope due to wear - you could remove the hinge pins and shim there.
