We worked on the car for a few hours after work.
The devil's in the details. Prepped the door hinges, sides of the roof box etc. for paint and sealing.
This involved proving the door all the way open, closing it, opening it again.

I put Tam to work painting the hinges, etc. I scoped out the new top door rubber seals.
I am not sure which way this is supposed to go. The new seal has a curve to it. If align the shape of the old part with the shape of the new one the curve seems to go the opposite way.
I took my best guess and drilled holes through the rubber.
I glued the rubber to the plate

One thing I noticed that I hadn't before the end of the left and right torsion rod is made in a different shape.

Hmmm, would the drivers door be different somehow because of more use.

I think it may be because of the rotation of the rods. They are probably not designed to rotate on the opposite direction of what they were made for at Grumman Aerospace or whatever.Originally Posted by Helirich

Needful things. This showed up today from the Netherlands today (Ed). Cost us over $60.00 U.S. but nobody else had one and ours is all discombobulated.
