Default EK door alignment (gap), please help.

Hey winners I got a new door because the door on the EK I brought was dented. But unfortunately after I install the new door there is a gap between the fender and door. (The door is sunk is deeper against the car then the fender) if you know what I mean. Basically the fender is sitting on the car correctly but the door is closer to the frame. Please help, are there adjustments we can make to the door to make it come out further away from the body?

Thanks,
J

On the frame of the car there is a metal hook that holds you door closed. It might be lose. tighten it with a screew driver. Let me know if it works.or your door pins or door hidges are probably worn.
