Hello everyone.

I replaced the upper a-pillar hinge on my 2002 Ram 1500 with a new one. I thought I marked the old one correctly, but when I shut the door it was way off. Couldn't even close the door. I adjusted the hinges as best I could, so now I can close the door.

However, now the leading edge of the door is about an inch down. The stripe tape from fender to door is my reference. How do I raise the front edge of the door while keeping the back wher it needs to be? I have never done this before so go easy on me.

Ive never taken my doors off so I know Im not much help but maybe you can find something in the Service Manuals. There is a link to them in my signature below.

If you find something please post it here
