I am having a heck of a time getting my doors to align and close properly. I knew they didn't seem right and after seeing how a door closes properly at DCS, I know mine are way off.
Basically what is happening is the rear of the door is pushed way out, and the front of the door hands too low. The only way they can be successfully closed is if the pressure is applied to the very rear of the door by the handle (exterior).
I have literally tried everything. I had to replace my doors as the car was previously painted and they were very damaged. I Have done adjustments through the hinges, shims, and strikers with many trails and they are still closing very poorly. I removed the windshield and jacked up the roof so the center was no longer sagging, as outlined by instructions found on this forum and communications with DMC and DPI. But, as it sits the shims are loaded up on the front hinges with none on the rear and still the door juts out in the rear and sags in the front. The front latch will fully latch when the rear only clicks once, and no matter what I do I cannot get it to close better than this.
So what I am thinking is the tub is to blame. I believe the portion of the roof covered by the roof box is sloping downward towards the front and causing the misalignment. Also, i have found several strange cracks in my tub in the roof, not to mention the passenger side a-pillar that was almost entirely cracked in half that I had re-fiberglassed. I also noticed there had been a repair in the spare tire well where a fist sized hole was and a new piece grafted in. All this makes me question the tub even more.
So basically I am wondering if I'm on the right track here and should start the search for a new (to me) tub. Also, if the misalignment in the doors right now will cause them to be permanently tweaked so if i go the new tub route they still will not close properly?
