Door not closing tightly

Post by Snowdog »

I have a 61 with a driver's side door that's not closing tightly...any advice or ideas from anyone that's had the same issue? Some lubricant perhaps, or an adjustment?

Does your door have good weather stripping on it? :thinking

Are ALL the teeth on the Star Wheel? IF one tooth is missing that may cause it to not close all the way too.

New weather stripping and door bumper resolved the same issue I was having on my '67 D100.

Is there a link? A search turned up nothing leading to a specific site named "Decade Auto Parts".
