all 3 of 4 doors have the most wonderful, crispest closure, with the most minimal effort.

however, my front passenger side door really needs to be slammed in order for good closure, bit of a Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogley really.

is it easy to re-align the doors?> ie, is it something that a mechanically deficient person as myself could perform?

thanks

Does the door jump up on the latch?

If so try lifting up on the door and bending till it closes the wright way.

If that dont do it then the hinges might be bad.

How is the gap between the door and the body... if gap is even.... you do not need to adjust the hinges, which is a bit of a challenge as you have to hold the door with a floor jack after you loosen all 6 bolts.... and push and tug the door.....

Hopefulley all you have is to make sure the catch lines up... with the latch... you can move the catch on the body frame up and down in and out

Good luck
