Door alignment
Can anyone help with aligning the drivers door ?
I have bought the tool for the hinges etc but can not seem to get the glass to press against the seal (see pic). The gap is enough to let in the rain and wind.
Thanks

Door Alignment
Looks to me as if you need more of a WINDOW alignment than a door alignment.
I never had to align mine, but I read in a different forum that the window side angle alignment screws are accessible after removing the chrome covers above the door locks.
BTW, the window retraction depths and their front/rear angles can be adjusted with alignment screws behind removable round plastic covers at the bottom of the doors.

I'm having a similar problem of wind noise, but not water getting in. I have one A-service left before my factory warranty runs out.... and u better believe I'm gonna have them fix it before that warranty does expire!
