through some stupidity of my own, I bent the hinge of my driverms side door. Enough that I could close it from the outside but not from the inside. I replaced my entire door hinge with one from a Donor car, and after lots of adjustment got it to be able to be closed inside and out. The alignment isn’t perfect but it’s pretty good. After a few days, I’ve noticed that some playback has come into the hinge. I tightened every bolt down to 180 inch pounds which is what my manual tells me to tighten them to.
Is there any way to reduce the play? And any tips for perfecting the alignment? It’s close to rubbing in the cowl area, but seems good elsewhere. It could probably do to move up maybe .25 inches at the b pillar. Any help is appreciated
