Hi,
Does it fully close at the latch and the bottom portion of the door?
If possible, take a pic of the issue and upload it for me to see. Also, I attached a pic below showing how the hinge attaches. You could try loosening them to see if you can get the needed adjustment from them. The ones on the door frame (not highlighted) also have adjustment abilities, but if I recall, that will move the door forward or backward.
Please understand, we primarily deal with mechanical repairs and not the body. However, and don't laugh, being around body shops, I've seen the techs actually slightly bend to the upper portion of the door into place by hand. I don't know if I want to recommend that. It's just something I have seen done.
Let me know if this helps or if I can help in any way.
Take care,
Joe
