I rebuilt my door hinges using parts from the freebies section. The right door bolts up and aligns perfectly. The left upper hinge however doesn't seem to fit correctly, the hinge inner bolt hole is about 1/4" inboard of where the hinge pocket hole is and I can't get the bolt in. The 3 outer bolts that attach to the pillar fit fine. I know when I removed the old hinge that the hinge body aligned correctly, and I'm assuming that I used a different upper hinge body and possibly a different arm when rebuilding. I can't remember for the life of me if the door aligned properly before I removed it (I REALLY need to start taking pictures). Would this cause the upper part of the door to have zero clearance and hit the door opening? I can't adjust the upper hinge outward at all. The lower part of the door aligns nicely.

Can these hinges warp that much or do I have a warped door or possibly wrong hinge body?
