Last But Not Least.. Door Alignment?

AirMan89 · January 11th, 2012, 04:07 PM

How do you align the doors.. I tried opening the door and adjusting from there but it seems to do absolutely NOTHING to change my problem.. the drivers side door is to low on the back end and it feels like it "rides up" when i close it.. also on both doors its like the side skirts do not line up but the passenger door is aligned ok when it comes to closing the door.

Has your car been in an accident? Sounds to me like the hinges are bad

If you don't have them already, consider some subframe connectors to stiffen up the chassis (after you get the doors aligned properly). Chassis flex can cause door alignment issues.

Subscribed because my doors also sag in the rear which makes you have to slam them to get them shut. Also car has had subframes since I bought it and it's only getting worse.
