My driver's door and fender hit with the door half open. They touch at the corner of the curve on top of the door. The gap looks fine at the top but is HUGE down at the bottom. It almost appears that my radiator support is sitting too high and causing this angle. I have new rad support bushings and I'm wondering if they may be out of spec, i.e. too thick. Also, my fender is pulled all the way forward so there is no more adjustment to get it further away from the door. My door to quarter panel gap is extremely tight so no pulling the door back either. I grinded out a little arc on the under side of the fender where they were touching. This helped get the door open a bit further but still can't get open all the way without touching. Also, the HUGE gap at the bottom remains. Has anyone ran into this problem? The passenger door doesn't come anywhere near hitting the fender near the top of the door. It's almost like the hinge has a completley different arc and swings it out with plenty of room not to hit. However, the passenger side has the same larger gap at the bottom. I was able to muscle the bottom of the fender back towards the door to close the gap but this supports the idea that the rad support may be sitting too high. Any thoughts?
