Am still doing final assembly on my 68 coupe and installed the door jam switches this past weekend. Problem is the doors barely catch the edge of the plunger and won't push them back - only bends them sideways. Was very careful when we hung the doors and set all the gaps to the original specs. Re-checked all the gaps and the doors appear to be perfectly aligned. At most, I'm off a 1/16 of an inch in any direction. Any suggestions. Sure don't want to readjust the doors since that'll throw off my fender and everything else's alignment forward on. Nothing around the door jam appears to have been bent or warped. Can't imagine Ford's tolerances were that tight that the doors had to be perfect to properly contact the door jam switches.
