door adjustment
Thanks Guys. My intuition was correct. I opened the door about half-way, carefully put a motorcycle jack under it, perfectly parallel with the bottom edge of the door. The jack has a rubber top so no way it'll scratch the paint. I raised the jack to just support the door. Put a piece of masking tape on the back edge of the door and measure distance to ground. I then loosened the 3 upper hinge bolts on the pillar side leaf of the hinge. Then I raised the jack a tad higher than needed, accounting for a bit a sag. This was about 3/8" total. Tighten the bolts. Release the jack - voila! All other alignments stayed "as is" this worked perfectly.
