Does anyone know how to do this? The gap at the front is tighter than the gap at the back. I beleive when the doors were removed for painting, they were not adjusted correctly.
I searched the forum every way I could think of but came up empty.
BTW - the total gap between the front and the back is the same as the total gap on the passenger side so I beleive this to be a simple adjustment issue.

Paul,
The adjustment for the doors is twofold. There are 4 13mm bolts holding the door to the hingeplates and another 4 13mm holding the hingeplates to the 'A' post on the car.
The adjustment you need to make is to loosen the 4 bolts on the door to the hingeplate and slide the door back a bit till you get the even gap lines. Have a buddy help hold the door up while you loosen them. Also take a bit of white out to mark the original places of the bolts and then you know they move when you adjust.
