My sliding door is now squarely aligned. My thanks to Jim Catterson for the info. The "U" hinge height is adjusted by the two bolts anchoring it to the door. I put a padded floor jack under the edge of the door, loosened the bolts, raised the door with the jack & resecured. After adjusting the striker plate (pin) to match, everything works great. It's nice to see straight lines down the side of the van! Thanks Vernon |
