I have purchased new hinges and I have been trying to align the door. Seems like every adjustment I make aligns the area I was looking at but throws off the alignment elsewhere. Any tips on how to do this easier? I have used a sharpie to outline the original hinge to try and have a good starting point. I have also had the joy of breaking the head off at least one original bolt. Good times.
Side comment, I have new bushings, so the frame sits level. I also installed new rubber seals to both doors. One door sits perfectly and the passenger doors leaves a gap of about 1/4 inch so it looks like the door isn't closed all the way. I thought new hinges would fit, due to them being original hinges. Doesn't seem to be the case, but the stainless steel Toms Hinges look so good.
