There
are four posts on the door. Trim off the shorter two.(they are the
ones on the
right side of the door) Use a new #11 blade in your hobby knife, and
"saw" it slightly. Don't use too much pressure, Do use
a sharp knife. If you don't cut all the way flush, it's ok ay.
A little sand paper will solve the problem. A word on new blades-
they are cheaper by far than new cars. Don't
cheap out when you are doing this kind of work. If you are truly cost
concious, buy the blades in the 100 pack, and
they will last you a very long time, but they will be very cost effective.
Throw the blade away when it gets nicked of dull. It will serve you
well. Carve out the left side of the lig ht
block, up to the edge of the right
side holes. You will need these holes to connect your open door back
to the car, but you want to clear out the block so that there is none
visible around the door. This requires carving off a little bit of
the triangle that supports the hole. You can clean it very quickly
with a square file from your hobby shop. Once
you have the light block cleared out, you are ready to reinstall the
door. A tiny bit of glue will hold the door in place forver. We usually
put it on the back of the pins inside,  as
there is no paint to interfere with the bond back there. Some folks
put a little thickened CA (like Zap a Gap) behind the door to insure
a good bond. Do whatever works for you. If you handle your cars a
lot, the latter might be better. Load that car, and reinstall the
body on the chassis, and roll on!
