Help with Driver Door Alignment (Pics Inside)
My door is sticking out alittle bit which doesn't bug me too much but the body line on the bottom of the fender and door is way off.
There doesn't seem to be much up and down movement now that I changed the bottom hinge pin but it is still way off in alignment, any suggestions? here are some pictures:
FRONT of door

BACK of door

Hinges and pins:

I don't think that's in your door. Look under the fender and see if it has been mashed either with a jack or speed bump or such in the road. Search for fender misalignment, There should be several threads listed.

Yepp, your right I just came to that conclusion about an hour ago. So...what can be done to fix it? Something as simple as bending the mounting point back down would fix it?

the back i believe you can adjust the striker. are all the bodylines off inbetween the fender and door if so its probably a repop fender and will never line up right

The front is off from the curve in the fender (mid way) to the bottom. It is an Original fender. I just need some advice on how to bend it back into shape.
