Default C1 door adjustment

Can I adjust my door by removing the forward panel in front of the door or will I need to remove the door panel? I know it's adjustable up and down,
just don't remember which side of the hinge or both.

Wasn't being snippy.

Sometimes we (at least I) forget how much good info is in the actual GM provided documents!

Any door adjustments require that the door panel be removed.
Except some adjustments made by moving the hinge on the jamb.
The ST12 will help.

Your never snippy to anybody.
Just made me realize I was being lazy. I searched and didn't find it and been around long enough that I should know better.
