Hello everyone. This is my first post so please be patient if I sound too much like an amateur. I recently purchased a Pepsi 81 and the door sags approximately 1/4 inch. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? The hinges appear to be fine and the body seems straight.  I appreciate any help you could provide.

Thanks,

Jerry

Thanks for the reply. I have two other 81's but they don't have this much sag. Maybe it is a bit greater of a sag than I thought. Here is another picture.

Perhaps an underwire support would help.  laugh
