Driver Door Alignment

Are there any tips or an easy way to align the doors? I have a small issue with the driver door. Gaps are spot on exept the rear lower side of the driver door (basically the bottom of the door to the rocker panel). The door has no play, but rubs slightly were mentioned above.

Thanks!!!

IIRC the bracket for the ground effects trap dirt between it and the ground effects. Nothing else while you have it off tweak the bracket down a little.

Another thing to check would be the striker itself. Be sure the top side of it isn't wore down. BTW Nice car

Re: Driver Door Alignment

What about getting the top of the door to come alil more inward when its closed? A strong gust of wind flung my door open hard and now I hear alil air getting around the back of the window seal.
