I tried the 2X4 method and I didn't have any luck. So I did this method: I removed the doors and pulled the hinge pins. I took the part of the hinge that goes into the piller and put it into the vise for "cave man" adjustment. On the top hinge, I put the flat part into the vise and I hit the round part with a BF hammer in such a way that I bent the round part in the foward direction (put a spare bolt in the round part so you don't flatten it). On the lower hinge I did the same thing but bent the round part in the aft direction. When I put it all back together it actually lifted the bottom rear corner up and tilted the top front corner foward. Which is exactly what I needed. It took a couple of tries on each door, but now they both shut perfectly.....and I mean perfectly. Do you have any pictures of this procedure? I'm havin a heck of a time visualizing it. | | |
