Door adjustment
I need to adjust the driver's door fit. The door needs to move back about one or two mm. I'm rubbing the paint off the front of the door and the front of the side trim piece is rubbing when the door is opened.
How is the adjustment done and how is the adjuster accessed?

You need a long piece of 2"x2" wood. Approx 6' to 8' long.
Open the door to its widest position and locate the wood under the door as close to the door hinge as possible and still ensure some purchase.
Get Pam to put on her pink slippers with the leather soles for electrical continuity - you don't want to shock yourself do you.
Place a large block of wood/cinder block under the long piece of 2"x2" to act as a fulcrum.
Loosen the 6 bolts that hold the door hinges being careful to locate the allen socket in place so as not to strip the bolt.
Look to the East and pull up sharply on the lever and hope you get it right.
If you screw up I have another door in stock so do not be the least concerned.
If Pam thinks you are nuts no problem she can move in with us.

All doors have way of being trued again, i would pull one bold a time and use stainless steel washers. Doors are plenty heavy ,,, you need roll-around door carrier (Ii made mine fron scrap wood and 4" 'shop wheels" that i got from Harbor Frieght. Then used ratchet nylon tiedown straps. Anyhoo ,, try the one bolt shim at a time. After about 10 years, all vehicle door sag due to weight.
HTH!
HTH!
