Did you ever get it to align? Iāve had the same problem and after trying for 2 hours, managed to strip a bolt.
This is a major Fail! Donāt recommend. I kept the upgraded hinges for now.
Let us know if you were able to align it back to spec. I plan to use āpainter blue tapeā before removing the rear door so I have I have a āvisualā to align them back. Looks good!
