Adjusting door - 67 dart

[Ragtop-Scott]

I had the door hinges rebuilt on my 67 Dart rebuilt. The driver side door is aligned great. The bottom was out a touch - but after a little adjustment it looks much better. The passenger door is a little low. I tried opening the door, putting a floor jack under the door (with padding), loosening the five bolts, and trying to raise the jack. It didn't seem to raise the door at all. I had those bolts pretty loose too. This is the only way to ajust this right? The bolts that hold the hinge to the car don't look like they have anything to do with the adjustment.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Scott

Yes, the hinge to body bolts have large holes you cant see really under the washer. Best way I found , slightly loosen the hinge/body bolts, Close door fully/ gently (it will sag a bit). With door shut tight tighten bolts. That should put you real close to final adjustment.


Hope this helps Eric
