Doors not flush to body

Postby Sgt_Major » Mon May 11, 2009 3:38 pm

Noticed this the other night when I was washing her.

Both doors are sitting out by about 3-4mm and not flush with the body.

Whats the possible causes for this?

Cheers Sebastian, I thought it might be something like that. I'll take a pic tonight and upload it. They are the same on both sides so I guessed it was safe enough to rule out a twist in the body
