Auto body repair & detailing: door closing, latch, back door
QuestionI recently bought a 97 cavalier for $400 because it was hit on the passenger side both doors were damaged I replaced both doors the front door is fine but the back door does not align up right their is a gap between the door and the body at least a half inch. Also you have to slam it really hard to close or it won't. How can I fix this problem?
AnswerHARD TO SAY WITHOUT SEEING THE DAMAGES....IT COULD BE THAT THE POST IS
IN...HOW IS THE GAP AT THE TOP OF THE DOOR ?. YOU MAY HAVE A BAD LATCH.
I WOULD TAKE IT BY A BODY SHOP AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT TO TELL YOU.
THEY WOULD PROBABLY ASK FOR A FEW HOURS OF LABOR TO INVESTIGATE.
