i bought a bolt on vertical door kit for my 03 civic lx. i put it on but kept runnin into problems and i was wondering if anyone else went through this.
1. everytime door lifted up fenders bowed out fenders wouldn't aligne.
2. doors didn't line up right after install so had massive wind noise and doors leaked in the rain.
3. inside door lock bracket knocked my windows off track and had to have the regulators replaced.
4. girlfriend couldn't lift passenger door up to get out. (sorry, im not gonna open her door for her every day, haha)
i finally got tired of all these problems and took them off and got my windows fixed and finally got my doors realigned, which sucks cause i hate doin that.i dunno, maybe i just sucked at installing that kit b/c after all it was my first big install as far as the whole car goes. but i left the wire extensions connected incase i wanted to give the doors another shot. if anyone has installed a bolt on vertical door kit with no problems could you please tell me how you were able to do that? probably more experience than i have but it would still be appreciated. thanks for all the input!

it was just a generic kit i bought off a friend here for $400. he bought for a customer of his but dude never paid for it so i bought it from him but he didn't know how to install it.

Cheap generic kit pretty much just summed it up.

Take it to a shop, let them deal with it. If your going to do vertical doors, do it right and get the kit from Vertical Doors, they are probably the best.

"everytime door lifted up fenders bowed out fenders wouldn't aligne." did you not roll your fenders enough on install? and with the allignment it just takes tinkering to get it right, but even with cheap kits it should be alligned when you first install the cheap ones just mess up over time compared to others because of the lesser strength metals used
