Question about door alignment..
Comparing 2 sides of the car, one side seem to have door aligment where door is sticking out by little.. no leaks . car was like that when i bought it new (its not anything major - its doesn't aligh with rear quater panel perfectly, but as an owner - i can tell the difference)
My questions is, if i try to remove and to re-align it, will that make things worse? will it create leaks?

mines been in a accident and its off just a bit, but before mine was also. I asked soem guys at a body shop and they said to check all the door locks and brackets to make sure they were tight and sure enough mine was loose so it didnt engage the door all the way so it stuck out.

You mean, the door doesn't line up with the rear quarter panel right? Like it doesn't sit flush, as if the door is still open a little?
Its an easy fix. Open your door, and on the side of the car (where the door closes) You'll see the door latch. Its a silver latch with 2 screw on top / bottom of it. Loosen them up a bit and slide the latch back a tad. Tighten and see how it fits. Keep adjusting till door fits flush.

somewhate like that.. its not crooked, but it seems to push out towards the back where it sticks out further than rear quater panel.. and it sems to go deeper towards the mirro side..
