Ken, pins are a mere 3/4" tall and well rounded, metal tab is under sill level so they will barely stick up enough to catch. Yes I didn't want to catch my leg on them so I had to work with some small parts,did most of the fitting with the shell on took it off to tack them in.
Joey, What door sag you think my doors will sag. I left room to adjust the pins, put everything toghether with tight tolerences and can loosen them up later. Hey I'm not looking foward to 100 plus degree temps down there I'm hangin out Vegas way Thur. through Sun. this week. So you think you could turn on the airconditioner so I don't melt.

LOL, when I think of door sag, I have flashbacks to the 70's/early 80's GM two door cars. You know, the door is a mile long, weighs two tons, and requires jato assist in order to get it shut after the sag set's in!

Quite true!!...but I found on those GM cars that once the "sag" set in, they
generally did not sag much more and once you reshimmed the doors back into
proper alignment, they didn't give much trouble. The only problem was that
reshimming the doors to get proper closure without jato assist would often
mess up the gaps so you would have good closure but gaps weren't right and
treating uneven door gaps can be very time consuming!

Everyone here in my neck of the woods is too dang lazy to re-shim their doors!
