Good evening, more good tips,tricks and techniques. Thanks again for sharing your expertise and experience. Better than any classroom. Good luck and take care.
Great video, really nice quality on substance and style. Wish more people would use a tripod when posting how to videos. How can I send thanks$? I normally see a link somewhere.
I don’t have a link for $. I just appreciate viewers like you who watch my videos. When viewers comment that also helps to grow the channel and that really helps. Much appreciated. Thank you
Oil canning is a term a buddy of mine teaching me some body work, called it when using heat to shrink the panel but your left with you push it and it pops back on its own
Which option would be the best to lower the door? my lincoln town car drivers door is sitting about half an inch higher from ground vs the perfectly working passenger door which is at 10.5 inches from the ground, drivers is around 11 inch. The rolled metal on the top of the door is sitting above my roof weatherstripping pulling it every time i open it, tried tons of fixes and striker alignments, seems i have to lower the door so the rolled edge sits flush against the lip of the weatherstripping and not over top of it. Thanks!
You have to look at the front edge door gap to fender. If the top of gap is too tight then you need to loosen the hinge on the cowl and move rearward to drop the door. If the bottom gap is too wide then loosen hinge and slide forward to drop door. Sometimes it’s a little of both. Remove the striker until the door fits and then reinstall. It’s hard to diagnose without seeing the car so I hope this helps. Thanks for watching
what about the outer notches in the first tool you mentioned that are on the striker end? I sometimes use those to rest on the striker instead of the larger, center opening. seems to be more stable.

I do some of these tricks ,the steel block in a hinge bound door. I've done multiple times on sprinter minibuses after the wind took the door.
Yep that’s the the way to fix wind damage. Thanks for watching
It is helpful a lot .

Nice socket trick I usually take the fender off and the door and beat the hinge back. I’ll have to give that a try
Just make sure to go a little at a time. Thanks for watching

I like to keep foam tape on my door adjuster near that pin so to avoid chipping the door shell at the striker.
That’s a good tip. I didn’t think of that

2:15...”it’s not going to bend them or anything”.
I cringe hard when he started bending that door.
