Default vertical doors not fitting?

Sup everyone.
Just curious if anyone has pics or some info on installing vertical doors. Yah i know it's kind of rice but i got em for an awesome deal. The kit isn't from vertical doors inc. But the guy i bout it from owns a place called Daton Imports (he says his brother owns vertical doors inc. and he's doin up his own now too) in the U.S. The kit seems to need some modifieing cause there doesn't seem to be enough clearance one the door is fully opened. The inner top corner of the door is hitting the top corner of the fender. Please help. THX!

you're going to have sealing problems as well. The doors aren't designed to open that way.

the doors have to move outwards and then up... they dont just swing up so there shouldnt be any seal problems.

yah they open out like stock hinges till about 30 degrees and then up. but it seems that the only problem i'm having is that it should swing out a little more than 30 degrees cause when the door is fully opened, the inner part of the door (right next to the mirror) seems to hit the top corner of the fender. Which is why it seems like it's not pivoting out far enough.

yea, they will seal just fine, but i was talkin to the guy at my body shop who just installed them, and said he had to roll the fenders in a little so it would clear...other than that they worked perfect

the kid who had them put on broke his left shoulder three days later....sold the car cause he couldnt close the door

Does anyone have a picture of what the fenders look like after they are rolled with the door closed?

ya i was thinkin of selling it but then i figure i just wanted to see how it would look. plus i could probly sell it for more once ppl notice how nice it looks!
BTW i did roll the fenders. it's not that problem. its at the top exterior corner of the fender. the door doesn't seem to pivot out far enough, therefore rubbing the outside corner of the fender with the rubber sealant. THX for the feedback so far btw guys!
does anyone has pics or videos?
