Glass alignment bolts interfere with scuff plates

[69Stanger408 82]

Trying to put my scuff plates on and running into interference with the door glass bolts that have the heads under the door. Scuff plates appear to be typical in height / thickness but the bolts contact them when attempting to close, actually won't clear the head of the handle side of door. thoughts? And, the doors are perfectly aligned. Without the scuff plates door operation is perfect.

If I understand your question ?  Picture's of the bolts in their recessed niche's two each door.  What's different about your door bottoms and bolts ? Brian

Appears to be no difference, pics attached. front and rear bolts along with damage to sill plate and door alignment. Appears the leading edge of sill is too thick? Options?

Notice no washer on the other pic...appears that may be the issue.

I measured my passenger door which has never been taken apart (ask me how I know). They are hex head with a rubber washer. One measures .092 high and the other .114.

My originals are like Brian's, no washers under the bolts.

My bolts with captive washers clear the sill plate. I don't believe your issue is with the bolts.

If i remember right ,these bolts have a shorter head than a regular bolt of the same size ,also the holes in the inside of the rocker are actually slots ,make sure the molding is pushed all the way down

On my car I had to remove the wavy metal strip that holds the door seal in place and just glue the seal in place, and this is on a mint original body, never been rusty or damaged and yes my doors are perfectly aligned. It seems they are very tight in this area and you just have to do a few mods on some cars.

UPDATE: Swapped out the bolts with different ones, all good, of course I had to take off the door panels because the rods moved once the bolt tension was removed, sadness.
