Door Alignment--Adjustment
Hello all.
I'm new to Mustangs (as of two weeks ago)--and have really been enjoying reading this forum. It is quite an education.
Proud new owner of 2011 GT (Black) Premium, Brembo, 6MT. Washing my car and admiring my handywork today, I noticed that where the doors meet the front fenders--there is noticeable misalignment, with the door being inset a bit from the fender. Where the doors meet the rear fenders is perfect.
Question: Is it possible to adjust the alignment of the doors to perfect the fit?
I'm quite impressed with the fit and finish of this Ford overall (having come from a 2001 Nissan Altima and '04 and '08 Infiniti G35's). If this one issue were fine-tuned, the car would be virtually perfect.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Stealership body shops sork badly.
They know nothing about quality body work.
Stealerships can change oil and brakes but thats about it...

Thats the Ford Way.
The 2011s are worse than the 05s for OEM fit.
The workers are underpaid and overworked.
Ford, quality is NOT job 1 anymore.
Otherwise you would have to add another
$10K to the price of the vehicle.
You want perfect body panel fit?
Buy a Mercedes C-Class and be done with it.
You wanna race, get a stang.
