Re: Door Alignment

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Unless you are absolutly certain the hinges have been disturbed DO NOT 
attempt to adjust them. Try a little oil on the ends of the struts, 
drip some oil on the hinges, and spray with a good penetrating 
lubricant like WD-40. The weatherstripping can also make a squeak so a 
little silicon spray sprayed onto a rag and wiped onto the outer seal 
helps. Especially around the spot by the sun visor going down the "a" 
pillar. The door cannot be realigned safely without removing the 
torsion bar. It is VERY difficult to align a door so if it hasn't been 
disturbed chances are you won't be able to align it any better than it 
already is.
