Door alignment

["Mark DeLoura" <madsax@xxxx>]

Hi listers,

I've had my D for just a few months, and either as a result of hotter
weather or more driving, my doors have become slightly misaligned.
The top of the driver side door is scraping against the T when opened
and grooving the door (aiiieeeee!!!!) The passenger side is also 
doing this, but not to the same extent. When closed, the driver door 
sits about 1/4-1/2" higher than the T. 

The docs indicate that I should loosen the door bolts and pull the 
shims. Is this a safe operation to perform without messing with the
torsion rod? I'd like to do this myself but am a bit nervous about
screwing something up.

Thanks!
---Mark
