Always first adjust alignment of the rear door and then the front
door. Remove door seals (hose seals) on front and rear doors as
well as frame seals completely.
Caution!
Slight corrections by straightening are permitted if the existing
adjustment options are insufficient.
Extensive straightening would lead to the doors becoming
"soft" and cause them to lose their tension on a long term
basis. At high road speed and with strong side wind, the door
frame could then lift off of the hose seal.
