Good afternoon all,
I am trying to get my driver door to line up better than it is now. I understand, from reading previous posts dealing with the door alignment issues, that it probably will not be perfect. The rear part of door sticks out about an inch and the top of door has a gap of an inch even though the striker is latched. When I purchased the Bronco the driver door was hitting the rear door post. I fixed that by adding new quick release stainless steel door hinges. It stuck out too far at the rear of door and had a big gap at the top. I added door shims (2 1/16 thick shims) on the bottom hinge between the hinge and door post and it still sticks out an inch. I will add some pictures later today to show what it looks like. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I apologize for being too wordy in this post; I am new to posting request for assistance.
Thanks in advance for your help.
