 |

OK. I'm guessing here. But I think Vans has a problem with the mold of the left door/cabin interface. I read about the many builders (who have websites) who have there left door sit low and subsequently needed to shim it to bring it up to meet the top of the cabin. Maybe a coincidence?
Mine had the same thing. LLD (Low Left Door)! Had to shim. Right side fit perfectly with no shims. Also, there's something else going on with the attachment of the gas struts. I had to redo my left door gas strut bracket on the cabin because the gas strut hit the door when closed. Built per plans. Damn. I wish Vans would fix this so others don't have the same problem.

I didn't have the lift cylinder issue, but I can verify that
I had to shim my left side slightly, but not the right.

Zack I had no problem on either door with my finishing kit about a year old.
I think maybe some people might not be putting the bracket on the canopy top
far enough inboard???
Not sure otherwise
