Thanks guys. I found some bolts with larger washers in the pile. I think I had tried it with the wrong bolts. I was going to mount the hinges to the door frame first and then mount the door. Is it easier the other way round?
I like to mount the hinges on the door first, then the whole assy. onto the car. That way you can just push the door shut and latched while you install the front two hinge bolts. It makes it easier to do by yourself and helps the alignment process.
