Re: Can I get some driver door pictures please

The factory didn't spend much time trying to get the door fitment right. Gaps never seem to be equal around the door. My driver door actually needs to have the window frame repositioned on the lower door.

If I make the body lines match on the lower door the frame barely touches the A pillar. This is something I wish I had caught before the truck was painted. But it wasn't apparent without the weatherstripping.

I recommend putting some masking tape on the body lines to sharpen them. Place tape on the door, fender and the the cab. (See arrows on photo 1) The tape will make it easier to see any misalignment and where to make compromises to get a reasonable fit up.

I'd run out and put some tape on the WMB and some photos to show you better, but it's 25 degrees outside.
