91 Accord:  Adjusting the Passenger Door

Hello,

I am doing some restoration on a 91 Accord LX that I dinged up a bit.  One
of the
things I am doing is replacing the right front passenger door.  The best
door I could
find seems to be a 94 or so, as the trim is different.  Anyway, the door
seems to be
similar enough, as the trim, inside pieces, window regulator and glass all
transferred ok.

The issue I have right now is that there is some slight "stickiness" when
opening the
door, and when I look at the right vs left doors, I see that the gap on the
leading edge
of the door (6mm) is wider than the gap on the left side.  So, I'm thinking
that if I can
shrink the gap down to match the left side, then my stickiness should also
go away,
as I have traced it back to a binding issue of the weatherstripping in the
upper left
hand corner of the door, binding with the rear passenger door.

My problem/question is, how do I go about adjusting the door this direction?
I have
sucked the door up tight to the hinge, so I am wondering, do I need to pull
off the fender
and loosen the other side of the hinges to move the door forward?  Or is
there some
other trick I'm not aware of that will allow me to move the door forward the
extra 1mm or
so?

Any help/thoughts appreciated.

Thanks....

When I had that problem with my Jeep Grand Cherokee (I let the door
bang open on a hill which bent things) I took it to a local body shop.
They have tools that look like a wrecking bar that attach to the edge
of the door.  A few good lifts on the tool, and everything was back in
alignment again.  Didn't even charge me for it.
