This is my issue on the doors, rear pass not flush on top and here is the driver rear that is flush. I have not signed any papers wondering if I should just walk away and get a Ram.

Yep, that's the only logical course of action. See ya!

I certainly don't mind giving this a shot, however, I'm a little confused with a few of the bolts/rivets (not sure what they are) #'s 2, 4, 7 & 8 in the pictures.

Just spent an hour maybe a little more playing around with the door alignments. Tough job, think I'm as good as I can get it but a morning test drive is key to check the front drivers door over bumps. I did find out why some drivers side rear doors are harder to close, just not sure it's worth changing. It was the drivers striker latch the piece that the door latch locks onto attached to the jamb. If you pull that piece "out" close the front door the rear door closes easily because when it is set too deep or "in" towards the truck the hinge side of the back door needs more pressure to close. When I got the back door closing smooth as silk the alignment was terrible and it created a potential air leak between the two doors. So I choose clean alignment, tight seal and a little more pressure to close the back door. I was able to to get the doors to align with each other and the body better but getting that, even reveals and no pressure back door to close was very tough.

Ok. You don't mess with the ones that go into the door. The other things that you referred to as rivets.... Sadly, those are the back side of a pressed in stud. To access the nuts, you will need to remove the "b" pillar interior trim.

I think I would just take it to the dealer, but you really need a dealer with a body shop. That body shop needs to employ a quality conscious technician.

Now this is the bad part.... Most dealers don't pay their body techs very well. Low pay attracts low skill. This is probably the main reason most on here can't get these issues resolved.

I agree, go get you a ram and maybe it will be the most perfect truck you will ever own. Who says Mexico can't supply a perfect ride.

Do not mess with the hinge rivots/bolt to the body. Each hinge has a bolt that says 10.9 on it in the pictures (1-13) that attaches the hinge to the door, those are the two bolts you barely loosen and then slide door to align and tighten. To me it was not hard to do and the door won't fall off if you barely loosen these bolts.

The hinge to door bolt adjustment does not allow forward movement of the door.

Good to know. I was lucky enough just to have move in/out. Thanks.
