Door alignment Q

[player1up]

Ok so I have a problem with the passenger door on my duster.

The top edge of the door is aligned with the body, however the bottom of the door (at the back) is further out from the car than the top (like it's not closing all the way).


How do I get the door to close more at the bottom?

do I move the door closer to the car on the bottom hinge or is there something that I should look for? The front of the door does match to the rocker panel at the front.

or should I pull it out at the top hinge.

oh and the passenger front fender is off so I will be aligning the fender to the door.
sooo confused, not sure where to start?

Slightly loosen top bolts that hold hinge to door, move top of door out... IMO
Hard to say without seeing it. Then align fender to door.

Hope this helps, Eric

Align door to quarter panel. leave your top bolt fairly snug and loosen the others. Close the door and set it where you want, gently open it and snug the bottom bolt, close and see if it is where you want it, readjust if necessary. Might take a while if your not lucky. tighten everything up and align your fender to the door. Should have a 1/4-3/8 gap even all around.
