I am one of the fortunate ones that have received my door guides from
rivethead-aero. While trying to install them they are to wide (the
distance between the door frame to the door) and prevent the door from
closing properly. In my case it is for 3 of the 4 guides. Has anyone
else had this problem and what is the solution?

I had the same problem. I cut down the nylon guides on the door. I was
able to cut enough off so that they did not contact. I have not put the
doors back on since I got the fuselage back from the paint shop....hope they
still fit.

Larry,
The door guides were made that way to accommodate every application. Every door to fuselage distance is not the same on every RV10. So, you have to trim the backside of the guides to make it fit. I guess you could trim some off the delrin on the door if you wanted to, but I didn't do that.

"trim the backside" Thats what I thought but, how? If I had a mill
it would be easy, but then I could have made the part  . I
could use a grinder or sanding disk, but that seems a crude way to fit
such a beautiful piece of machine work. Suggestions.

This is definately NOT an elegant way to do it, but since I didn't have
a milling machine. I used a flat 1/2" router bit, chucked in a drill
press. Put the part in a drill press vise and 'milled' off very small
amounts at a time. cleaned it up with the vixen file.

If you are a member of an EAA chapter, does anyone in the chapter have a milling machine? They may be a resource for you.
