Door Panel Alignment?

[Mustang5ohMan]

Anyone have door panel alignment issues where the door (mine on passenger side) sticks out a bit?
Some ever so slightly other ones look bad.

Maybe off a clip

Smack the door with palm open, gently around the edges

To ensure all are snapped in fully

Take a pic, to have a better guess . But sounds like one clip didn't sit all the way in indeed. That happened to my car, but on the driver's door sill. It was creaking and didn't sit until I put all my weight in when inspecting what was the deal with the brake/clutch switch 'pads'. And talking about that, I just got the new Toyota pads, so need to replace all 3, so I never have to worry about those crappy ones disintegrating in the future .

You tried what I told you in PM lol.

I think he means the outside of the door where it meets the quarter panel, mine is a bit off in that regard as well

I have issue with my cars trunk lid. It has more gap on driver side and not enough on Passenger side and ford Dealerships auto body Shop tried fixing it but no luck.

Steeda actually just posted a video on how to adjust the trunk because some people who bought their trunk pop kits were misaligning them. Same basic adjustments for stock. Could try it yourself and see if it would work.

wonder how the body shop can’t figure that shit out.... fucking crazy... body shop guys are more worthless than the techs...

Yeah exactly tried fixing yours? Or just going to let it be? It’s very slight....

As petty as it is, I havnt attempted it.

1. I want to see others say "yay it worked"
2. im lazy.

First check that your trunk lid is actually out of alignment vs the fenders. I wouldn't mess with those bolts unless that's the case. The issue with post #6 is the trunk's black rear panel. Could be wrong, but really doubt the trunk itself is that far out of whack. A picture further back would reveal which of the 2 (or both) are out of alignment.

Just ignoring it because its slight and all the other panels look good. If it were a garage queen I might care more

Kind of what I said too... may see if they can align it though

Might just be the latch. I had a similar issue and adjusting my latch fixed it. Remove the plastic cover and give that a go. Word of warning, don't loosen the bolts all the way and remove them, just enough so you can move it and then re-tighten and check alignment.
