Seen this before? Too much pressure?
 

Anyone seen where a door was pressed too much when built? My passenger door came like this.

Not enough cushion for the pushin' !

Is that the original door? I could see an NOS door like that, but a factory installed door after all of those hands on it. I know how stuff goes in the factory, but if it's from there I bet someone saw it at paint or door seal install and said "Aaah, too late now". What does everyone else think?

Is that a tear or a shadow from a stamping wrinkle. If it is a tear, i would tig it shut and no one would ever know. I would be surprised if that was from factory. I am sure after stamping they had to pass QC, and other checks down the line. Roger

Curious...what day was your car built on the line?
Possibly a Friday. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
A picture of your Cowl Tag would help..

That's a tear. I can't see it going through the factory like that with the checks after stamping, nut welds, skin install... Unless it was a special day. -(What time is it? Aaah crap!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif The guestion is when was the door built and how long did it take to get on the car. Maybe it's a service door.

I've seen hood corners "tore" before on an unrestored original paint ZL/2 hood Yenko. That tear would not surprise me at all..BKH

its a split from the draw die, i work for gm metal fab, trust me when you get one of these in the line it ruins your emtire day.

Nothing much surprises me regarding factory quality. I've seen and own many orig paint, untouched cars - restore them to the true factory fit and finish and you'll be laughed at! I've never seen one yet that didn't have a ding or wave in it. And when the ding is OUT in an inaccessable area, you know it was a handling or assy goof!
