I have read all the door adjustment post. The experts are truly are on here. The only thing I haven’t done is start messing with a body mount. Striker is maxed out hinges are shimmed slotted. Door closes fine but this just bugs me.

Aftermarket body on factory frame.

You are correct but I bought it completed knowing the doors were out of adjustment. I had it wrapped but the door color matches the satin black wrap. Here is where I stopped today.

Top hinge in
Bottom hinge outward and 1 shim.

Top rear of door (not window frame) high to rear frame because of shim.

Feels like I am close
