If you jack up your car and the door gap changes, you have major flexin the body that requires repair. If there is no change, then the PO when they welded in the patches and never made sure the specs were right on before welding


I have jacked up the car before and I don't think anything changes. I will check again tomorrow by jacking both sides. If nothing changes, is there a way to correct the gaps? I find it strange that the drivers side long is perfect with zero rust and yet the door glass hangs a bit and my gap is tight on top of the door.

Is any else having problems posting this eve? Eddy

aehm. yes. did you look at my posts?

you'll need to get the car back to the factory specs. that means *bending* the tub back to where it belongs.
then hold it there with braces.
then repair the longs ...

the exact measurements can be found in the "914 Info" section.

btw. the *more* you take off your car (weight) the easier it'll be to pull it back without you having to rent time on a celette bench (expensive but *the right way* to do this) ...

you'll be able to pull/push the frame back where it belongs, use braces with adjusteable length (threads) for fine tuning ...

depending on how much the PO welded on the hell hole, you might have to cut that all out again, as it will make it easier for you to move the frame back ...

Both sides have a door gap at the top of 1/16" not jacked and 1/8" jacked. Door window hang up issues on drivers side only with window fully raised. Which seem weird because the long is perfect on that side. Passenger side door and glass works fine.

this one is jacked

Not sure if this is a separate issue or not but my trunk on the drivers side rides high.
