Default Re-fitting saph door

Is there any method to re-fitting a saph door as I'm having trouble getting my driver door back on properly. I put the door on and lined up the panel gaps but it never sits right once the bolts are tightened.

Is there a method to re-fitting?

Cheers.

I use wedges of wood as the spacers and fit the 13mm's on loosely till your happy with it, if your still having issues the you may find something is bent

Cheers, got it sorted by using a jack to support the door and gradually adjust the height until it was right. Was pretty easy way if your doing it on your own.
