[QUOTE="Sr., post: 431205, member: 19774"] They look like the doors for my 88 YJ... and in great condition. I recently had issue with door alignment and solved it by hanging the doors on the hinges, then loosen the 6 button head bolts (door half) of the hinge while someone helps lift and shimmy the back corner of the door. First thing you want is striker alignment then nudge them a bit more if necessary to lessen any gap in the upper corner where the meet the windshield frame and top. If you still have considerable gap in that upper corner, you may need to also loosen the torx bolt on your roll cage spreader, the bar that attaches to the upper corners of the windshield frame and runs to the rear. Under the padding, there is a torx screw you will loosen. (both sides) and move the windshield frame forward or back depending on whether you have air gap or binding at that corner. When I adjusted mine, it didn't seem like they wanted to budge at first due to being locked down for so long and the windshield hinge being seized a little, but I looped a small ratchet strap through the tie down bracket located between the sun visors and wrapped it around the rear roll cage bar, a few cranks on the ratchet an they snugged right up. Before I started, mine were gapped out close to an inch on both sides. Now: [ATTACH=full]118395[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
