My first "A" Body was a 1969 Swinger 340 4 speed which I ordered in 1969 or 68 can not remember for sure, old age. I had this problem on the drivers door. The large washer had the sharp side on the body, and was cutting it. I got a larger washer, put the smooth side on the body, it worked fine and lasted a long time...
