I've been driving my 914 alot the last few weeks and I have two problems. It seems that the driver's door when it opens up, drops a little....requiring half the time that I actually roll the window down a tad so that the glass doesn't catch when I go to open up the door. Similar scenario when I go to open the door, the glass catches again unless I lift the door slightly when opening. Is this an adjustment to the door hinges that needs to be made?
Secondly, it seems that the sway bar (or) some suspension component on the driver's rear makes an annoying tok tok tok when you go over bumps and is really bad when driving on gravel roads. Any suggestions? Charles Navarro LN Engineering http://www.LNengineering.com Aircooled Precision Performance |

QUOTE(cnavarro @ Nov 29 2003, 04:03 PM) It seems that the driver's door when it opens up, drops a little.... they do that after 30 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) also, people lean on doors while they're open ... the door falls down after opening because the hinges are bent. you can either bring the car to a body shop and pay them BIG $$$ to fix it or do it yourself. (btw. the body-shop won't let you watch them do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) here's the secret: open the door, grab the door from underneath at the end and SLOWLY PULL it up as hard as you can. voila! perfect fit for another 30 years!!!
