Question

whats the best way to align a car door when replacing one?

Answer 1

If the door you are replacing is for a Chrysler, you will most likely need a special tool to help make any adjustments once you install the door on. You carefully bend the hinges to change the up/down and forward/back. This is best left to a dealer or auto body repair shop. If you do decide to do this yourself, make sure to have a jack handy to help hold the weight of the door and you can lower/raise it to help align it, or having someone there to help hold the door can work as well, although again it is recommended not to do this yourself and to have a repair shop work on it instead.

Answer 2

Mark around the hinges, take pictues, compare to the other side, make sure the new door is not bent or mis shaped.
