I added a 1/16" thick angle at the door frame, the gas strut was moving the frame around causing fitting problems.

Hi Jerry, The angle just keeps the top door frame from moving in and out. As far as the fit, with the door strut in place you have to re-fit the door on the front interface with the cabin frame. I still have some fore and aft movement because of the strut. I just push back a little when shutting the door, right side does it more than the left. I know it's not much to go on..... I hardly think about it any more. The doors shut fine and I am happy with the fit, good luck, Jim PS: if I don't respond in a timely mmanner, e-mail me, I don't look at my other e-mail address much.

Jim, When I installed the strut on the door, It shifted the door fwd. Is that what happened to you? Did the angle fix it?
