[Roadsters] Fender/Door Adjustment

[E Scanlon]

You don't really have much choice but to adjust the fender.
Unless you want to try millng down the hinges which wouldn't be a good idea.

Have you put the hood on the car to check that the fenders are aligned to 
each other?
If you're adjusting the fender by only going by the upper portion just above 
the door and
right below the windshield frame/pillar, you may be inadvertently 
exacerbating the problem.

Look at the bolts in the door opening, and make sure  you at least CENTER 
the bolts within the
fender's mounting holes.  It also wouldn't hurt to check that the support is 
in fact straight to the body
and the fender.
