VEHICLE DOOR ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
A vehicle door alignment system is disclosed for permanently aligning a vertically sliding door (10) or a structural key member (12) located on an edge of the door (10) engages an oversized mating receptacle (14) located on a corresponding edge of the door opening (16) when the door (10) is in a closed position. The door (10) is fixtured in an aligned position, and the volume between the key member (12) and the receptacle (14) is filled with a hardenable liquid resin (26). Once the resin means hardens, the door (10) may be opened, thereby disengaging the key member (12) from the receptacle (14) and leaving an imprint or mold of the exact shape and aligned position of the key member (12) in the solid resin means (26). When the invention is used with a hinged door, an oversized mating housing (38) receives a hinge post (34) and sleeve (36) surrounding the hinge post (34). A liquid resin (10) is introduced between the sleeve (36) and housing (38) and allowed to harden.
