My granddaughter was playing with the doors on the pod and now the screen door sticks at the bottom. I don't see any obvious adjustment or play in the hinges to correct this. Any ideas? ------------- Larry and Debbie w/Rosie the mutt. Old: '13 177, '06 Silverado V6 New: '15 Whitehawk 20MRB '14 Silverado V8 |

| She may have caused the frame to shift out of square. If the sticking seems to take place on the bottom edge away from the hinge side, you could try pulling it back into square. This might not be a permanent fix so you may have to rig a wire diagonally from the sticking corner up to the frame on the hinge side, probably anchor it about where the cross frame goes. You would need to put a turnbuckle on the wire so you can tighten it to pull the frame back into square. |

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for input. Off to the hardware store once again. Postscript: $5.00 later.... Two screws, some braided wire and a turnbuckle and problem is solved. ------------- Larry and Debbie w/Rosie the mutt. Old: '13 177, '06 Silverado V6 New: '15 Whitehawk 20MRB '14 Silverado V8 |
