thanks mark. Just check the PMs. the pop up bloker was killing the thing telling me i had a message.
I do want to be able to open the door. So that if we need to do troubleshooting to the ECU we can get to it easily. Plus I would like to be able to get a door on the car so that is it some what watertight. Currently the top of the window is about 1 inch away from the roof.

It doesnt need to be perfect. Im ok with a crease or dents in the rocker. I just would like to have a functioning door. So ill go with the pull it out idea.

We are taking time off untill the Feb Chumpcar at Homestead? Need to fix the door and there now is a cooling issue we need to find and address.
