Door/A-pilar adjustment
« on: September 22, 2016, 22:06:55 »
Hi
Today I visited the workshop that’s doing the metalwork on my car.  They had an issue at the base of the A-pillar. The door matches perfect all the way around but where the small tip of the front wing meets the door it differs some few millimeters.
The question is if this area should be flush, which I think!  Or the door should be lower at this point to let the window trim molding take some of the difference?

Hi Lars,
Yep, I am quite sure it should be flush, the door level with the fender.
