Hi.

On my other thread some will know im restoring my Herald 13/60.

Now fitting the door skin.   All ok so far gently tapping the flange over.

Working my way round using the swage lines as the reference point and these line up.

As i get to the top front curve round to the quarterlight the panel is not touching the frame.

Not a problem as it can be moved towards the frame.   This closes the gap for the window and seals from 20mm to 15mm.

Just wondering i if there is a set dimension between the frame and the skin for the window to fit with the seals.   ?

Maybe i should not worry. ?

Any body who has fitted skins able to advise. ?

Thanks
