Nearside door.

Hi all. The nearside door on my 91 Elan catches rear edge of the wing when the door is opened. I have adjusted the hinge ut it still just catches. I have seen several other m100 Elans that seem to have the same fault. Do i need to take off the hinge and elongate the holes to give that extra clearance.

I found the fixing bolt at the bottom of the door post, on the sill was no longer holding the wing in place which meant it catches on the door when it was opened. I held the door open and wedged a piece of timber between the door and the wing to hold it in it's correct position then drilled through the bottom lip of the wing into the sill then fixed with a stainless steel self tapper. This has held it firm for over a year now.
