I cant seem to align my passenger door.What gives? Bassically the door overhangs the back of the door jam at the bottom(see pic).I do not think that there is any body flex that is causing this problem. There are 6 bolts that hold the door on. I have moved these all over the place and the door will not align. It closes but not quite correct. Any ideas on what I should do.
I did close the door,remove the top and roll the window up and down with no binding. That is why I believe there is no body flex. Also the longs look solid. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
