Default Lambo Door Problems

I had lambo doors installed in my C8, they are great, love them! However, the door keeps rubbing against the fender, making a popping sound, and now left chipped paint. Any suggestions?

How are they great if they are causing all those problems and have damaged your paint. That being said, take it back to the installer and have them address the issues.

Yes, I'd contact whoever installed them. I don't think that's something most people should attempt to fix on their own.

What brand are they?

One of the issues with Lambo doors, that most folks are not aware of, is the door has to be fully opened "like a regular door" and then it can be raised. The reverse to close it! The problem begins when folks unlock the door and try and raise it immediately, they are not designed that way and they can get out of alignment rather easily when you start doing that.
