Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Door Repairs (Hey Lu)

The orange car did ot have a problem with the track bolts but the yellow
one did. The metal was not rusted away around the bolt but it was
cracked and I welded it up. Also on the front track at the bottom there
is a nut on a 1/4" threaded rod that is there for adjustment that has a
habbit of breaking off. It is a simple fix as it is threaded into the
track. Just cut a piece of 1/4" thread all rod to the proper length and
it is fixed. Had to do that on both drivers doors on my Hornet's. My
window channel came out without much problem.

Doc, That must be a common problem because one of my doors has that
top corner weld broken but the other one is solid. I had a time
getting the old window track liners out. They were dry rotted and my
son and I spent one Saturday afternoon picking the pieces out.
Another problem I found was that at the bottom of the window track
(inside the door), one of the bolts had rusted completely through
the door. A piece of metal will have to be welded in and a new hole
drilled in order to reattach the bracket section. ~Lu~
