Barracuda door issue

[Jay W]

This is my first post here, so bear with me. The first thing I noticed with my 64 was that the drivers door was impossible to open. Looking at the gaps suggested the door was too far forward in the body and the latch was sticking in the striker. I shimed out the striker so I could open and close the door. I tried to adjust the door back, but it is as far as it will adjust. When the door is all the way open, it is at a funny angle leading me to believe the upper hinge is bent. I have attached pics and know the knowledge base here will point me in the right direction.

Had similar issue unlocked the door and could not open it what so ever. After finally getting door open flooded the mechanism inside door and latch with WD40 It works as intended. Might be worth a try

If you need hinges, message me. I have good, tight originals for $25 each

Awesome, thanks. I found an NOS upper but it seems these are hard to find.

I have pretty much anything you could need for that setup
