Help me understand. The door stay kit I’m using comes with a pin but it’s too big for the hole. I could make the hole bigger but there’s still no groove for a clip. Stock pin on right

Wow! Hard group to please on this topic.
Let's cut Mikey a little slack. It is hard to build parts for a new car and to take care of all the tolerancing stacks. All OEM's use statistical software and CAD data to do it becuase just finding the worst case tolerance stacks (hole too big, pin too small) including variations in paint thickness, plating thickness, stamping variability, and pin diameter variability will gurantee that the pin is either too tight or too lose depending on which whay you do the stack analysis as best case, or worst case. The statistical software seeks to best fit the component tolerancing such that 99.99966% parts fit the first time. Note: that number still isn't perfection. Trying to do the same for 45 year old cars with worn out parts. I wouldn't even want to try. The only way to perfection is to make your own parts to fit each car. Retail is a tough gig. Thanks Mikey915 for doing what you do! |
