Yello all brickers,
Today I am trying to tighten up some stuff that's been urking me lately and wanted to see if anyone can help as I have tried with all my might and can't find solutions for these three things.
1. Hood alignment - Looks like my car has had a bunch of excitement before I was the proud owner and my front of the hood is aligned correctly but the back, near the windshield is raised about a half inch over where it should be. This is a replacement hood. Might not ever have been installed right. Any write ups for this anywhere or can anyone chime in?
2. I know its a long-shot but I am trying to find the silver window trim right below the passengers side back door for my 85 240 sedan. Wondering if a parts list exists to where it would be easier to pin point what exactly I need to replace this piece. Its just funny how much different the car looks like from the other side, it doesn't flow like the other.
3. I have a drivers door lock that will only fully unlock if I pull up more on the stem of the door lock. If i don't do this, it will remain locked even though engaged open. I have disassembled the door and couldn't find anything bent or anything and I lubed all the places that made sense to with white lithium grease but it didn't help the issue. Just wondering if this is a thing that happens on these cars or if this a one off and if so, what to do to troubleshoot it more.
