Help With C5 Door Panel Alignment
I noticed yesterday that my driver's side door is not flush after I shut the door. I noticed this with both my convertible top up and/or down so I don't think it has anything to do with the side window placement or trim.
The only work I have recently performed was adding some custom leather interior door panels, however their fitment is correct. Plus I added the interior panels over 3 months ago and just noticed this gap yesterday so I don't think it's related.
Any advice on how to adjust the door? The pictures below show how the driver side door panel is not closing flush compared to the passenger side door panel.

Thanks!

You do the work on the door screws and hangers after you open the door at the front of the rear fender.. The hinge on the door that hook to jam going up on the inside. Unscrew the one on the body and just push it over to the inside of the car just ever so little. Then see where you door is at..Robert

After I open the door, I adjust the 3 screws that connect the rear quarter panel to the frame in the door jam? Do I also adjust the door hinge mechanism?
