Driver door just started to squeak/grind when openning. Within couple of days it became very bad so I checked it out, and door is not hung/aligned properly. It is too far forward - the gap between front of door and front quarter panel is too small, and the gap between front door and rear door is too big. When the driver door opens, the bottom front corner of door catches quarter panel/molding at wheel well. Its bad, its chipped away paint & bent bottom of quarter panel. The entire door should be shifted towards the rear 1/8"-1/4", and the door needs to rotate at hinges counter-clockwise so the latch/handle would be raised 1/4"-1/2". If I could move bottom hinge towards rear slightly, it should stop any more damage. I don't know what happened that caused this, but it seems to be getting progressively worse.
I supported door with jack and removed some of the bolts on hinge at chasis side. From looking at it, I don't see any adjustable bolts/connections. The bolts on hinge at door side are less accessible and don't appear to have adjustment either, but I am not sure--didn't remove those. I can see bolts behind the hinge assembly that appear to hold the hinge to chasis, but it appears that door must be removed to get to those, and I dont know if those are adjustable - and really don't want to remove my door if it is not going to solve the problem.
Is there a way to adjust door swing/hanging of door? Do I have to remove door? Which I assume would require removal of interior door panel in order to disconnect wiring?
Any advice/pointers is greatly appreciated.
