JRidout Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Dear All,Purchased a couple of door skins for my Mark 1 today, stripped old door skin off, blasted the frames and primed them. Now when I offered up the new skins I notice that they hav'nt just slotted in over the frames, they are slighly less bent then the old skins? So do I start at the top and then clamp down to the bottom bending as | go , or should I start at the bottom and work the other way?regardsJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensH Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Start at the top. And take 4-5-6-7 turns with a dolly and a hammer 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie55 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Correct to start from the top. Remember to make sure the top gap for the glass is correct and even. Really important you check this. As you fold the edges over, the skin will pull into the chassis shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
