Default Sticking Door Fixed!

Fixed!! I socked some silicon/grafite to it....and opened/closed it 20 times and it now "clunks" like it should. It appears that the lock mechanism was working OK from the inside but sticking when being opened from the outside....just enough to cause it to drag/hang up a bit. All's well now and it has that beautiful solid 928 solid closing door sound. Thanks all. the problem was hardly perciptible to the the eye...but the lock mechanism was not opening "just enough" to be a problem. Whew...one more problem behind me.

Thanks, all

Harvey

OK, Harve. Before you come back and say now your hood won't align and we tell you again that your frame is bent, lube the hood hinges.

Bill,

I was going to say something about the gap between the driver's side door and the dash is smaller on that side than the gap in the same place on the passenger's side, but I'm figuring that it's simply a totally bent and/or warped ecoskeleton or ecosystem or something along those lines. I have it balanced on some pretty good stumps so all should be well. By the time I take it down, it'll require 6 months or 60,000 miles to settle the suspension. During that time I'll just "drive high." Great cars!

Harvey
