sagging doors!

hi every1 im a newbie to this forum. im having problems with miss-fitting wings and sagging doors. the wing is a GSF item and the shut line next to the door is really bad. is it fixable or just something i have to accept because of it being a replica panal? any advice would be much apreaciated as its really annoyin!  

If the doors are sagging you can fit a washer between the door and body bracket on the upper door hinge.  Don't forget to adjust the rear door catch.

Not much you can do with the wings  

thanks, il give it a try.

I've fixed my sagging doors really easily.

I just opened the door slightly (not all the way as you dont get so much leverage), grabbed the bottom of the door and lifted the car up a bit by the door! It bends the hinges enough to get them to line up nicely. Make sure you don't over do it though!

Cheers,

Depending on which way the wing needs to be adjusted it is possible to move them about, they are usually a pretty poor fit. Best way to start is to slacked all the bolts off and see where the wing need to go you can elongate holes, chop bits off the wing itself (inner edges of course) which helps move the wing into the car more (if that makes sense), and of course the wing can be pushed, bent, re-adjusted etc etc.

Just takes time to get them to look half way decent, but saying the I dont think they ever do so if it really bugs you splash out the cash and get and original one its the only way to be perfect.

I only bought pattern ones for my caddy as its only my workhorse and couldnt justify spending the money out on genuine wings   .

As for the doors do a quick search this topic was covered in great detail only a few weeks back.
