You need to remove the front wing to allow access to the door mounting bolts and adjust the hinge position, but its a two man job ideally as the door is really heavy

had a mechanic look at the door today and guess what the bottom hinge bracket has pushed the door skin a tiny bit so it looks like a trip to the body shop to get the door skin pulled back out and the door realigned
