:iagree:
 
Make sure you REALLY want to fix the fender before you pull the windshield frame. Its kind of a bugger to get back on! BTDT!
 
Doc Entropy's Ratio Rule:

"I'd rather do three transmission R&R's than ONE windscreen replacement."

:devilgrin:
 
I don't want to do the windshield either!!! At this point, the fender stays bent. Thanks for all of the advice and help with these hinges.
 
Well....

So much said about having to be a contortionist.

After entering your "B" through a doorway,

It doesn't make you feel like a teenager anymore

if you don't have to lift your leg and climb over the

door, kind of in a "James Bond' fashion?

It gets ugly thinking that you entered through
the passenger door with the top up. :jester:
 
Yeah Dave...the weather hasn't been conducive to "top down" driving. It's NOT a pretty sight seeing a 65 year old man climbing in and out of the passenger door with the top up. I've mostly been driving the truck and my young (42 year old) wife Carla has been climbing in and out everyday...Thanks for the hinges!
 
Stretching and yoga can help maintain flexibility, Gar! :jester:
 
Too much likw "work" Doc!! :smile:
 
It looks like the flat material that the rubber stop is mounted to is bent, because of the door swinging too far. The fender edge may not be stiff enough to pry against if you use a screwdriver. Can you make a flat U-shaped piece that has holes to screw it to the holes? It would be to the left of the opening. Then pry against it to straighten the hinge?

Just wondering.
