Hi all,

I've an Edition30 that has had aftermarket wings in the recent past and it has been fine up to now, but have just started getting an annoying screechy contact noise when I initially open the front doors, which I thought was dry hinges but have just realised that it appears to be the very bottom front corner of the front doors, squeaking against the rear bottom corner of the wings.  I assume something has shifted, it's happening both sides - do you think I just need to loosen the wing bolts and try and reposition it slightly further forwards?  Can anyone tell me where all of the wing bolts are and is access ok?

Muchas gracias!

upper hinge or door skin would be the 1st to check
door skin screws need loosened not removed to lift the skin
upper hinge can be adjusted short term Replacement is better :happy2:
  Guide worth watching for the hinge fix as only the door part needs replacing and not the A frame part  (top tip  :laugh:)
