Default 58 Door Alignment

I need to adjust the passenger about 1/16 of inch forward. Its almost rubbing against the back end and would like to move just a slight amount towards the from fender. Exactly which bolt do I need to loosen to make this slight adjustment? Can any post a pic showing which bolt I need to work with to accommodate this adjustment????

You need to loosen the six bolts (3 top and 3 bottom) that attach the hinges to the door.

Mark your door hinge locations first.

As stated by others: 6 bolts. 9/16 socket, some paint sticks and some good masking tape. You might want to be careful that you don't take all the bolts out, just loosen them. They are not fun to put back in. They also sell repro shims for the stikers, if needed. Mike
