    well its a rookie question but I don't want to overdo what should hopefully be a simple task... my driver door is about 1/8" inward at the top and thus about 1/8" outward on the bottom. shouldn't loosening the lower bolts on the brackets allow me to adjust the door the way I need to? or am I gonna need to loosen all four bolts?

    first make sure the...hinge pins and bushings are good...
    I take the plastic inner fender out...loosen the door hinge bolts (with door closed) and put the door where I want it and lock the bolts back down.
    the door is like an octopus when you get the bolts loose, it wants to go in 8 different directions...good luck.

    lol an octopus ... yea that's what I was thinking by just loosening the bottom bolts on each hinge yes the hard wares good was told by prevent owner that he threw the door on in a rush and is super easy to straighten up... will see
