Can anyone tell me how to adjust the position of a Mondeos' front and rear doors in their door apertures?
I need to replace the nearside doors on my Mk1 Mondeo as a cheap reskin insurance job means they are rusting in the seams.
I know how to remove the old ones and rebuild the new ones but neither Haynes nor Google can tell me how I adjust the hinges to get a good fit on the new ones after I have fitted them . I assume that the hinge part bolted to the door has elongated holes that will allow up/down and in/out movement but I have not dared loosen one to see. However this would not allow the door to "rotate" if for example the top of the door was neared the rear of the car than the bottom.
Do the hinge parts bolted to the A and B pillars have elongated holes? I am puzzled that the rear door hinges on the B pillar appear to have a bolt coming through from the inside. Do I have to strip off the trim and loosen this bolt to make adjustments.
Advice from anyone who has done this will be most welcome.
