Cab door adjustment 1974 Kombi

[baliboy.schroeder]

Your door can be as you mentioned adjustment up and down, in and out.
If you are adjusting the door at the hinge out you are moving the door at the hinge further out from the body. Moving the hinge out is mainly to adline the door to the body and adjusting it up and down is really doing the same thing, you are using the body line as a visual point.
You can as mentioned twist the door by pulling the top out and the bottom in or vice versa.
Normally you adjust the door with no rubber or glass(weigh) in it (after painting). To adline it all and when the door is complete (glass and rubber) you then do a final tweak.
I've used spacers under the hinge to help align door to body as well.
If your top back of your door is sprung in, to me it is twisted and you need to pull the top hinge out a little and the bottom in a little. You just have to do it little by little until you get what you want to achieve.
What was wrong with it to make changes or adjustments to door?

Thanks Wayne, I think I have a better understanding now. I think the van sometime ago may have had a shunt in the front. No physical damage notable but the top right corner of the door was rubbing against the piller. So I put some washers behind the hinges to take off the pressure. This is fine now, but now trying to align closure.  I will take your advice and take pressure off the top left corner of the door. I may have over compensated moving the hinges too. And then I have trouble with the striker plate, it catches but does not close completely, I understand there needs to be adjustments there too,

I have used washers as spacers, but I thought there would be flat metal spacers with holes available ??

Thanks for your advice ,much appreciated
