Door alignment
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Aug-02 AT 09:05 PM (EST)]Only that it's best left as a two person job - and a frustrating one at that.
And that I do remember that when I realigned my driver's door (did not replace hinge yet) the whole door could be in alignment, but the top would stick out (like at the very top of the door (above the window) it would stick out to the left - away from its proper place).
So I put my two boots at the base of the window (on the inside door panel) and pulled the whole 'window-frame' part of it to me a bit (essentially bent it back in to place). Now the door is aligned, and the top sits where it should.
