Default Headlight door adjustment revisited..

This is a repost - kinda.

I need to adjust my headlights so when they are in the closed position they line up in the openings. I loosened the 3 bolts on each pivot point and this seems to move the assy up and down, although my up adjustment seems to be topped out.
I need to move these doors front to enlarge the body gap at the back. They are binding along the back edge as they open.
How do you move these forward??
Thanks
JZ

First check the header bar for rust to see if it has droped down. If it is ok I have had to use a die grinder and enlarge the mounting holes.
