UCF3 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 To all: Wanted to know how far do the doors of the SC300's span? I'm looking at this car, and the current owner is saying that's how far they span. I swear to god, it looked like it was 35-40 degrees. Also, the drivers side door sounds like it's hitting the base before slumming shut. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman9000 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Lexus employed special hinges on the SC to open the door up wide for easy in/out. The downside is that they are known to wear out or break and let the door sag. You are probably seeing that. The repair is a couple hundred bucks for parts alone, I believe I read. But also, there is some backyard fix involving welding. I have not had this problem myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Also, a good body shop would be able to prop the door with those adjusters and correct the swing. Offer less to cover the cost if you like the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF3 Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 That was going to be my stategy anyway. Now i have to adjust my strategy to accomodate the doors. There are other problems that will need to be fixed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 You guys never told me how far the doors are supposed to open? I did want to know that the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 They should open all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
