It is possible to get your baggage door to lay perfectly with out force. P
ut a very very slight curve in the lower lip of the door before assembly to
smoothly fit the fuse side. after the ribs are on=2C put the door on the
AC and check the fit. Stretch or shrink the ribs to change their curve and
you can get the door to lay flat with no pressure. Mark where the rivets
for the inside panel will go so as to not remove metal there. To shrink t
he rib cut a notch in the flange and flute the rib slightly. To stretch cu
t a notch in the flange and and squeeze (beat) rib with pneumatic squeezer
or rivet gun. Rivet back panel to door.

I recently completed my baggage door using Vans
instructions. Took numerous iterations but I am quite pleased how it turned
out. I went to the local locksmith and purchased a reasonably priced lock
'
one where the key cannot be removed unless the thing is locked. Although no
t
100% fullproof - I guess you can miss a key sticking up from the baggage
door ' but it is an indicator of an incomplete preflight!
I found the rod extension to lock the door provided the
force needed to make the door set flush.
