Actually took a different take on the number 4 phillips screws (okay, I got out a bigger hammer) used the Kroil and the impact driver and got all three screws from the lower hinge out. Put the new hinge (Michel's old hinge) in, rehung the door and it doesn't really shut right, and it doesn't open very easily and it doesn't line up all that well. I suspect that all these symptoms are related. The door however now does shut nice and tight. I'll take it around the block tomorrow to see if the rattle is gone. What is everybody's take on lining up a back door on one of these Wagoneers? Also this may or may not be important but there isn't much floor left under the carpet in the rear footwell areas? Could that be allowing the body to flex too much? (Maybe I'll get some metal and start in on the floor pretty soon) Mark 81 Wag ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 20:32:37 -0700 From: Jim Blair Subject: RE: fsj: Door lining up question Yes, weak floor and sagging door issues are related. I loosen all the hinge screws when I align a door.

As pointed by Jim loosen and recheck for binding/rubbing spots. Is the door sill straight? The hardest is the front door, I almost considered buying one of those tools, but the body still moves via the tires and suspensions. The body-metal work is not the tightest welding work on those jeeps. I have done a few scavenging jobs, either at the yard or on my 3 wagoneers, and the welds are really loose. the latest discovery is the rear quarter panel window, basic spotwelds w big a gap running under the rubber seal, the factory applied some body sealer which is still soft as of last weekend, no rust under the gasket as opposed to the donor of the gasket which was the same 88 that donated the rear doors, and there was no body sealer and a lot of rust under the gasket.
