Door adjustment
Need to adjust the doors on my 1994 F250 is there a easy way to get to the bolts that hold the hinges can hardly see them never mind getting a wrench to them.
Thanks in advance

Door adjustment
If they are not too far off and your problem is just that the door humps up on the latch post on closing, you can move the latch post a tad. This worked for me (doors now close nicely), though I suspect that a proper adjustment at the seemingly-impossible-to-get-to hinges would help reduce wind noise.

What exactly needs adjustment? If the top or bottom need to go in or out, you can adjust that where the hinge bolts to the door. If the door has dropped at the rear, you may just need new hinge pins, about $6 each at your local auto parts store. Otherwise, a little trick I did on both my doors is to place large fender washers between the bottom hinge and door. Worked great and no one will ever see it.
Good luck
