Passenger door out of alignment
Seems the passenger doors not lined up on my xr3i any tips on how to adjust it? It's almost like the latch is to far in and the bottom kicks out?
Be nice to get it sorted it's been like it over 10 years and doesn't leak

I had a similar problem when putting my car back together after a respray. (it was fine before iI removed the door)
The top of the door was tucking in whilst the bottom was sticking out slightly. I ended up making a few very thin shims out of alluminum to sit behind the top bracket. Straightened out the door nicely, and no leaks.

It's do-able with the dash in. Just a bit fiddly. The shims go between the bracket and the door frame, so as long as you can get to the nuts under the dashboard it shouldn't be too bad.
I just made the shims look like capital "E"s so the door didnt need to be completely removed to slide them in.
