I have a ‘62 Rampside. It’s being restored and almost finished. The front doors don’t close very well. It seems like you need to stand on one foot face your upper body to Detroit, pull on your left earlobe and close your right eye to get it to close.

Anyone have a “method” to adjust the doors so any normal human can close the doors?

THANKS

If it’s the same problem i had... the door just wouldn’t shut and stay shut. They seemed to have a life of there own. I adjusted the door strikers, in and then out, then up and then down... fixed it but after a few minutes or days or weeks they decided not to stay closed any more. Bought some new door strikers, installed them and haven’t had any more problems :)

Thy help keep the strike secure after you tightend the bolts joe
