Why is there a gap between the hood and the door?
Fender. The fender is often a problem to align because you’ve got the door-to-fender gap, which can also be affected by the fender-to-hood gap. It’s always our goal to use the factory supplied adjustments (mainly slots) and never go outside those provided adjustments by further slotting them.

What causes a door to sag at the top?
A sagging door tilts downward and to the side. Often, the sag is not visible when the door is open. But opening and closing the door causes the door to scrape the door jamb at the top. Doors with pronounced sags can stick to the point where it becomes difficult to open or close the door.
What should I do if my front door swings open?
If the door is already finished and decorated you will need to move the hinge and not the frame. If the door swings open on its own, unscrew the bottom hinge (and the middle hinge if it has one). Next, move the hinge out a little, away from the doorstop and screw it back on.
