@iptman do you think the portion of the hinge bolted to the pillar at the cowl could be loosened for some outward adjustments? If the pivot was moved slightly outwards, could that resolve your problem? Since there’s a rubber seal between the front door pillar and the door hinge, the seal would probably need some silicone if the hinge is moved outward a couple millimeters.
I was thinking the same thing but I'd hate to go through the trouble of accessing and moving those hinges if I can figure a way not to. I assume this is how the hinges were from the factory so it stands to reason I should be able to get them to work as they are. I've basically ruined the weather stripping at this point so I might just pull it all off and install OEM and see how that works.
I have some upcoming work I will be doing on the LX thought I'd share in advance just in case anyone would like to come by and do the same. I have a parts list I can post/pm if needed.
Date: TBD but it will be a 2-day job either Sat/Sun or Fri/Sat within the next month or so.
I will be doing the following:
Rear brakes - Rebuilding calipers, refreshing parking brake, new rotors/pads
Front brakes - New rotors/pads
Front bearing repack
Brake fluid flush
Anyone is welcome to come by and work on their truck or watch/BS/Drink beer.
