[DMCForum] Re: Serious door alignment issue

Hi Jordan.

Here are some things to check.  The door can be adjusted slightly 
upward and downward by loosening the two bolts which hold it to the 
hinge.

It seems likely to me that when the door was closed on the 
screwdriver, that the metal roof support was bent downward, and it 
rebounded, still bent, after you took the screwdriver out.

If this is the case, you could fix it by clamping.  You'd have to 
take the door off.
