Dynacorn

Anyone on here have any experience using Dynacorn doors for our cars?
I’m attempting to install a drivers door on my 72 and the gap at the back is huge and I can’t seem to slide it any further back. I measure the door just below the body line and it is at least a 1/8 shorter than OEM.
Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

Check with member Ron, 73MustangCoup. I believe on his thread, "The Rickster - a 73 Mach 1 work in progress" he used the Dynacorn doors and he addressed that same issue.

Sorry, I just went back through his thread and I was mistaken, He didn't use the Dynacorn doors he used his OEM doors that he repaired.

Friend of mine let his car have the doors replaced, same story. They had to be adapted to fit.

I'm not certain what you mean by 1/8. 3 mm?
If so, unless you want/can lay a weld bead on the edge all over the lip or on the pilar which would be the easiest, also preventing to have the domino effect that wil be at the fender to door, you could I think for this amount just move the hinges further back.
if you can't/no more play at the plates in the A pilar, you could add washers by each of the bolts, behind the hinges plate that connects to the door. You could also copy the hinges plate in aluminium and place it between.
As said, if you do not add the missing "meat", you also will have to readjust the fender for the same gap.

Not what one should expect for doors with such price tag, but thats how things go these days...
