My driver door is a repop if that makes a difference.

With the door as far aft on the hinge plates as it will go the front edge of the door still hits the fender as it's closing.

If I read it correctly the service manual says all adjustments fore/aft should be done this way, but I can't get sufficient travel. Is the next step to shim the hinge were it attaches to the pillar? Or am I missing something?
