1935 Pontiac door adjustment

[aristech]

I have a 1935 Pontiac coupe. I wanted to see if anyone has a trick to fix the door diagonal brace rod. Mine  just spins.Without taking the door off or apart. I may end up taking it apart. But was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and came up with a way to fix it

Does the whole thing turn or just a stripped nut? The end of the one on my 36 passenger door is completely missing. That picture is a 36 door, the rod should be going the opposite direction in a 35 but otherwise about the same.

So the hole rod spins on both my doors. Just wanted to use the image as a reference. Any help getting the door to pull in would be great.

I thought I understood it until I saw that picture. I think mine just had a nut at the end (it's gone). That pic looks like there might be more to it than just a long threaded rod. Can you get at the top end to hold it maybe? Unfortunately I suspect it might be broken. If it won't just adjust I think you have to take the door apart.
