cant get door in all the way

[ddlrsad]

I have a 07 Bayside and when trying to install the door its as if the roof is not all the way up..I can't get the door to go in the right way . I have gone back out and turned the crank handle what little it will turn if any but that still will not help me out...any sugguestions on what I need to do...... thanks for any help.

The camper has to be level.  If it is level, then maybe the cables on the door side of the roof are out of adjustment and not lifing the roof all the way.  Measure from the top of the camper box, to the underside of the roof, at all 4 corners and see if one side is being lifted higher than the other.

Also, be careful about over-cranking. It can cause the dawg on your cranking mechanism to over-extend and get stuck. If that happens, the roof will not stay up and may come down out of control.

As Austin said, probably a cable adjustment but as a stop-gap, you can push up on the roof by hand while installing the door to get it in the slots. You may need a stool if you are too short..... :p

Seems like the unit may not be level at all 4 corners,as Austin suggested,try measuring all corners.My unit has a "cheeter cable"attached between the top and lower box,so i dont over raise the top.Leveling the unit appears to be very important to door fitting into slots,so i always check with a level before cracking up unit.Just some ideas,that work for me.........
