Droopy Doors

["Robert A. Sittig" <atomizer@domain.elided>]

I too have a '74 Spider that has required door adjustments.  Removal of 
the inside door panels reveals six bolt heads (three upper and three 
lower) on each door that pass through the hinge flaps.  If you loosen 
these slightly, you can adjust either the front or rear of the door to 
the proper height.  Also, the bolts that go through the hinge to the 
body can be loosened to adjust the tilt in and out from the body when 
the door is closed.  If the body or doors have not been significantly 
bent, you should be able to create acceptable alignment.  You may also 
have to loosen and re-adjust the striker plate and pin assembly as well 
as the guide blocks at the rear of the door.  The guide blocks tend to 
hold the rear end of droopy doors up.  Good luck with your project!
