Door thunk.
Just throwing this out there for a pm measure or a fix if your door thunks when opening.
The black bar that stops the door from opening too much has two 10mm nuts (door side)that come loose and causes the door to thunk while opening. On the body side there are two 8mm bolts that you will take out so the door opens more for easier access to the door side nuts. Tighten them and then put the bolts back in. Before you torque them tight,swing the door back and forth a little and the mount will find it's center point.
I hope that my problem turns out to be your gain.
That is all,carry on.

Thanx Sarge. Every year I get under her (no sex jokes) and check all of her fasteners. Twice a year for the diff and halfshaft hex bolts. Heard some horror stories about them. Also, while checking my belts and hoses I tighten up the clamp bolts and every year, they tighten up a little. I never really gave thought to the door hinges and the black stop bar and go figure - loose as hell.

Because you have a garage and you're in Texas. I'm a driveway guy in Delaware. I'm almost jealous.
I tried to get a city code variance to build a garage in my humongous backyard but NO. Damn city of Newcastle historical society. They won't even let me put up a carport in my driveway. Too close to the neighbors driveway.
