All: The doors on our 74 have really great fit on the outside, but rattle quite a bit. When I pull on the door it can be pulled in just about an eighth of an inch and the rattling and squeaking stops.
Haynes show striker plates that can be shimmed, but the 74 has a later style that has two rubber tabs instead of screws. Has anyone swapped styles and had good results? All of the rubber on the car was replaced during a restoration in 2014-2016 and it's had less than 3000 miles since, and always been garaged as well. Any idea would be helpful. Thanks! |
