Door question

My camaro is a t-top. Just wondering if you guys had problems with the doors kinda sagging and not closing well anymore. I heard you just have to replace some springs, but i'm not for sure what it is.

I had some problems with it bowing out too far but when I replaced the guide for the window, it didn't make the door buldge as much and I haven't had a problem since.

I think it's just because there's so much weight on the front support and just gives a little over time. It's not really bad just have to push a little harder on the passengers side.

your hinge bushings are worn very common on all gm vehicles, if you go into a parts store and look at the help section there is a rebuild kit for it

I've heard about it happening all the time so don't worry it's not a hard fix.

use lithium grease and throw the wd 40 in the trash or with the other cleaners (a real penetrating oil works better, but it does remove glue well)
