Re: new doors?

I bought 1 new door to replace one that was rusted thru in the hinge area. The new one was beautiful, but I had fit issues in the top rear of the window frame where the door was curved more than the side of the cab. I had to drill out some welds where the window pillar extends into the door, straighten it out and reweld it. I read somewhere on this board that doing this is not uncommon with the Chinese doors.
