    I recall spending about 3 days working on my doors. Several times, I was close to assuming the kit was flawed and I was ready to cut, drill and grind to "fix it". But I kept telling myself it was not the kit, it was me. In the end, the only modification I had to make was to cut a slit on the rear end, bottom of the door where it curves around and pulldoor slit.jpg them together just a little bit to keep from scrapping.

    Well, from my experience (and many others) with the door/fender/A-pillar fit, the roof on the 818C at the rear, and certainly the door windows, it is not me, it is the kit. I've asked in the "Ask A Factory Five Tech" area for them to comment on my findings here on the door hinges. Not that I expect them too, but until they show me otherwise, it is not me, it is the kit.
