Adjusting door

[wikkid]

Need to adjust my door a touch. Any help would be appreciated. About a good 1/4 inch off.
Thanks

very easy- what part? doesnt match

Door sags just a touch and does not line up with rear quarter. Bottom needs to come up. Do I remove the panel nextto the door to to the hinge bolts

How do I get to the hinge bolts

Yes. If you search there are many methods but the short and sweet one is to remove that panel in front of the door. open your door slightly and place a folded towel between the door and the side sill. Loosen the hinge bolts and move the door higher on the towel then tighten. Will take a little bit but not too bad.

Yep, might give it a try. I would think raising the bottom wil throw the top off.

i adjusted mine where the door was not matching to the rear quarter by adjusting the door latch on the rocker part, this put it perfect in line and open and closes better than ever- that should be all you need to do.

The latch with on the jam. I was thinking of this first. I did not thinkit would move vertically. So it will move up a touch.....

Might try this at halftime of bulls game

it will move up, down, in and out- loosen the hex bolts enough to make it a little hard to move, keep tweaking till you get it perfect- this is all you need to do.

Worked perfectly. Plenty of play in the latch. You would think that would be done right at the frigging factory.

Thanks for the tip. I was about to screw with the hinge

both my doors where fugged up like yours, down and not matching to the quarter- my 08 was perfect, my 09 i had to adjust about every panel on the car- they never finalized it due to the bankrupt i think

I would have guessed this was the easiest way as well, as I have noticed my door is a little low at the quarter till it hits the striker. At which point it lines up perfectly.
