what do you mean the top wont close? the bottom does? im confused.

they probably just need to be adjusted.
you will have to play with these adjustment screws

Exactly what looney tuner said. When I put my kit on, I spent about a half an hour adjusting the doors.

i would also adjust the bolts holding the hinge to the door itself. sounds like the door shifted slightly when you were puttin the hinges on.

it's so much easier in the long run to not take the door away from the car when putting on lambo doors. cause if you do, you have to line it back up again later.

the top of the "B" pillar on the door doesnt meet up right with the car, it sticks out from the car about 3/4 of an inch and if it rains, like its supposed to tomorrow, its gonna be pooring into the car. ive tried all of the adjustments on the hinges and they didnt work

do what cannon said. lossen all the bolts that are on the hindge that attach to the door. give her a lil wiggle and tighten them again. or if u want to take the fenders off again u can loosen the bolts and then tape the door onto the car where u want it so it won't move too much. i had to use a hammer to adjust my doors forwards and backwards. oh and don't tighten all the bolts on the door or the ones on the body at once. i had totighten each one little by little cause the hinge will pull the door outa alignment others wise.

Can someone post pics with the doors closed please? Specifically where the door meets the fender. I want to see how the fenders lined up after the hinge install. I tried installing mine and ran into issues with the fender lining up. Installing the hinge was easy but when i went to put the fender on, everytime I opened the door outwards, the door would rub with the bottom part of the fender. Once the weather warms up again I'll give the installation another try.

face, it sounds like you are one of the few who have to "roll" your fenders. in escence you are going to fold the lip on the "door side" of your fender. fold it straight back. i am in collision repair so i did it myself, all you use is a hammer to fold it, just make sure you have the painted side padded with something.. a blanket a towel... whatever

if you need to, IM me later and ill help you out more, since i was lucky enough to have to do it. you are going to want to do it soon though, so you dont chip the paint off your fender
