My drivers door shuts just fine and latches solid. But the bottom of the door sticks out about a third to a half of an inch away from the door jamb, and it also is out of adjustment by about an eighth of an inch at the top of the door. Can anyone tell me how to adjust it?
Thanks,
Dennis

Put a rod with turnbuckle in the middle from door front just below the window opening to back bottom corner, like the one used on thousands of wooden screen doors. Tighten the turnbuckle until the bottom of the door is sucked in and rectangular shape restored.
