So this morning I decided to reinstall my doors for the first time since I took him off over a week ago I've absolutely love the doors off experience can't say enough for it but I want to put them on cuz she needs a bath cuz I took it out in the mud yesterday well suffice it to say the first one did not go so well I was having trouble lining up with the top hinge when I finally got it I let my hand off of the door to grab the bolt and apparently it wasn't seated all the way and fell off after looking at the top hinge the way it mounts there is a four-sided square that has two recess onto I guess I was just sitting on the top of it and just catching so a word to the wise don't take your hand off your door until you put a bolt in preferably the top bolt
I was able to take vise grips and a towel and bend it back so the door closes fine and everything seals and actually it's not that noticeable yeah right
My biggest concern now is that the crimp on the edge is broken open so it's just rust waiting to happen and considering how everything's made today are they going to be able to fix it or do I have to get a whole new damn door skin
Well, shit happens and we just gotta move on!!!!!
P.S. don't beat me up to bad this is my first doors off vehicle.......
After doing many door removal demos I highly recommend the door bags for this reason. We didn’t order them at first but now we think it’s a must. One scratch or ding will frustrate us and with the bags they help with protection and replacing the doors with the extra grab handles. 61lbs for front and 48lb for rear can get heavy if you are struggling to hook that top hinge. It’s awkward because the top hinge is a square vs a circle and has to replaced with the same “full open” angle it was removed. We didn’t get the bags thru factory which we wish we did, so hoping some after market ones are coming soon.
