Question... The driver side door is slightly out of alignment. The bottom does not sit flush. I will upload a picture when I get a chance. Any ideas or tips on how to align it? I don't see any wear spots or bind points. The latch appears to be completely catching.

----------Very nice , my favorite color combo. My first was a red, W/black leather, black top, 4spd big block 1968,,, currently have a black/ black/ black rag top & black hard top, 4spd,,,, Go out and get it dirty, run the wheels off it, and have the best times getting nicks and road rash on it!!! you will love every second of it!!! Throw those micro fiber gloves away, lol,,,

Congrats from a fellow first-time C3 owner who's also waiting for spring! Mine is sitting in the showroom at my store so I get to show it off to customers every day. They love seeing it but I want to start taking it out for drives.
