Default door ajustment

well to make a long story short i had my door open and backed in to a pole and bent the door back far enought to fu*k the fender up so i took that off and got the door to shut properly. but the only thing is i need to move the door towards the rear of the car like a 1/4 of a inch how should i go about doing that??

when i got new doors, it was just trial and error by loosing/retighting and moving the door till it was right. it's a bitch.

You could also have twisted the A pillar a little bit the door might still close but I would have it checked by a good body shop. twisting the a pillar a little could cause water leaks around the door or the window
