Can anyone expand on this technique of tweaking the doors to make them flush? I read the maintenance manual and it said to pull the bottom of the door in, you have to bend the hinges. In this old post, some said to use a 2x4 block to bend the whole door. Where do you put the block? Wouldn't this hurt the door panel? I'm going to take pictures of the one door I have installed with a good gap at the bottom that I can't figure out how to align it.

Thanks for the help.

To get my right side door to line up after swapping hinges I had to heat the straps red hot top and bottom and then man-handle it into position. This was done only after all other adjustments were attempted. Doors work fine now. This method though is not suitable it you have everything already painted.

Chuckthetruck, You seem to have been here before. I took a close look at my right door this afternoon. With no weatherstripping installed yet, only the rear bottom of the door is sticking out. How do I fix that?

Thanks,
