Rear side passenger door adjustment?

[MD24Bronco2.3]

4-door, obviously. Rear door rubs against front door when opened first. It's wearing the paint a little, not all the way to metal yet. Anyone know if it can be adjusted? That door panel seems to sit slightly farther outward.

P.S. Before the snark begins, yes, my 4-door wishes it was a 2-door.

Under warranty?

Under warranty?

Yeah, but if I can avoid that hassle and fix it relatively easy, I will. I hate dealership service shops, and most other service shops, too. Engine or transmission? Yeah. Turn a couple bolts? Not worth it to me.

Just another reason to stick with the 2 door - lol!

YEP! Thank you very much! Steps 1-5 got it done. Just had to loosen those 3 bolts and push in gently on the bottom with the door closed. Pro tip (because I'm a pro now!), it looks like they suggest loosening those bolts 2 full turns... that's way too loose, because once you get the door where you want it, it moves when you try to open it to tighten everything back up. So, only loosen them enough to allow the door to move with just a moderate about of pressure. When you're comfortable that it hasn't shifted upon reopening, then torque the bolts to spec. All-in-all, an easy task (as expected) that saved me a lot of aggravation. Door operates fine now.

Yeah. They say the same thing for tailgate adjustment and I fell for it - tailgate dropped like a rock to the bottom of the adjustment range and it took me 3 people and several hours to get it lined back up right.

Oh dang! Live and learn, right!
