RLLD 4,145 Posted April 22, 2015 2006 GMC Envoy Denali - lately the door seems to have dropped in relation to the car, so when you close it it does not meet flush. How do you fix? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,339 Posted April 22, 2015 Honestly no clue. Mechanic portion of my asvab was my lowest score cause I don't really work on cars. Always was interested in it but never had time due to sports in high school and college. Then definitely didn't have time in the military. Maybe I will start getting into it but that is more engines and s***. You're best bet is prob the dealership. They can at least tell you what's wrong with it and can fix it if you want them to or you can youtube what they are going to do and do it yourself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DankNuggs 305 Posted April 22, 2015 bring it to an autobody shop? imagine there is something going on in the hinge that needs adjustment or replacement. Buying a mid 2000s GM product was probably a bad choice to begin with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can buy rebuild kits i believe I have seen these and some more involved stuff, I think I have the potential to make it worse, and potentially increase the cost of eventually paying someone to fix it right.

BudBro 173 Posted April 22, 2015 I was hoping to try to do it myself, but the more I read overall the more I can see I just have to let the dealer do it my truck door made large noise, especially into a heavy wind. my mechanic said "turn your back." i said "why?" he said, "so you don't see me hanging on the door with all my weight to align it." it probably just needs bent back up. someone with some cowboy ingenuity should be able to bend it a little without having to replace parts, or getting a new door.

Agreed, put car jack under door and raise until it is aligned. Shut door then grab beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We make fun of uneducated plumbers and mechanics, but when there's a need, it's great that they're around so we don't have to get dirty. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.
