Hey. I just replaced rubber hinge with s/s hinges from ed. And still the bay door sits 3/8 inch lower then the rest of the doors. Is there a way to get it to sit higher??  I thought it was just a strached rubber hinge. But to no luck. It stayed in the same postion!!

See if the plywood floor (ceiling)is sagging  little.

I would say yes to the floor sinking a bit. But not to much

Looking at the diagonal stripe...I am guessing it's been that way for quite awhile...unless you recently painted ?

Well here's my last guess... the original door was damaged and that is a donor... they are "custom" fit and riveted ....

I checked it out the skin of the door it's held on by about 20 9/16 bolts
