Aligning body panels....

Recommended Posts

From when I replaced my door....

 

The edge if the door sticks out now, it looks like the door is not latched all the way...

 

The top edgle looks ok, but where the door latches with the body needs pushed in more.

 

 

Can anyone give me tips on how to properly align the door???

Sounds like the bottom hinge needs to be adjusted inwards..possibly the top as well because when you push the bottom in, the top of the door will most likely have a gap.

So, I'm fairly sure you just need to loosen the hinges, push the door in a bit, and tighten...

When you say "inwards" , do you mean push the hinge towards the rear of the car...Am I understanding you correctly?

If you take out the splash shield in the fender you can get to the bolts to move the hinges. The other adjustment is the hinge bolts you see when you open the door
