[DML] Re: Door latch adjustment help

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to be sure that both the front and back door locks are
latching on the "2nd" position. Once you are sure that they are both
clicking twice as you slowly close the door, the door is adjusted. NOW
you can align the panels to the doors, not the other way around. Since
you say the front panel seems to be OK it sounds like you need to
adjust the fit of the rear quarter panel to the door. Do not try to
adjust the door striker pins if the door seals are old and flat.
Replace the seals and then, IF YOU NEED TO, you adjust the striker pins.

the front fender.  I assume an adjustment needs to be made around the
striker, but where and how?  I searched the archives, but could only
find adjustments about the torsion bar.
