Anyone have a good video on adjusting the front door on 71-73 Mach1?
I have tried googling but no luck. I found the different types of adjustments and that I need a special tool to get to the hinges bolts.
I noticed the other day one of the hinges is missing a bolt. I have replaced the striker pin a few times.
When my door shuts The back of the Window glass hits the chrome moulding.
Any info or adjustments appreciated.

You can adjust the glass independently of the door. You adjust the doors first, making them fit the body with good gaps. Then, with the interior door panel removed, you adjust how the glass is up and down.

Thank you for your reply. I didn’t mention but beside the window the stripes on door do not match up with the front and rear panels of the car.
I need to purchase the tool but not sure how to adjust the hinges to raise or lower the door.
