Hello
I have a 1972 914 The passengers side was hit and "repaired by P.O." I have noticed when I close the passengers door it hits the rear quarter panel, chipping the paint. On the opposite end that meets the front fender the gap is wider that the drives side gap. Is there any way to adjust the door forwards towards the front fender? Thanks |

Got a sledge hammer and a 2 foot 2" x 4" ?
Open the door fully, place one end of the 2 by 4 against the 3 bolts of the upper hinge. Strike the other end of the 2 by 4 with your best shot. Repeat on lower hinge. ..... better be sure beforehand that your car isn't just sagging. Your front gap doesn't look overly large. |
