Be VERY careful with this process! We had that problem with our 34' and our
dealer performed the above to correct it. What happened was this: because of
the pressure, it weakened the bolts in the upper hinge causing them to
eventually break. While traveling, we stopped at a roadside park for lunch, opened
the door and it fell off.
