[DML] Re: Door Alignment

["Joe" <skateboarderx24@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks.. I'm aligning it with the torsion bar out since it would make
sense to do so and then align to the pins. When the main door gasket
seals all the way around is it then aligned? From there I guess
install the striker pins and align them to the door. Awesome.. thanks

hardest part like I said is figuring out when its aligned
