From the inside, the driver's side door (LHD) has a gap at the bottom I can put my fingers in. From the front passenger seat, I can see out of it.

I bought the car recently. From everything I can see and the official documents, it has not been in an accident.

Regardless of the cause, I cannot get the door to fit nicely. I have tried the door striker. I have tried the eight large bolts on the two main hinges. I have tried bending the door even though it seems to be perfectly well-shaped.

It seems I need to move the bottom of my door closer to the car. In other words, it does not seem to be skewed clockwise or anticlockwise.

I believe I have read every thread ever posted about the W163's doors. I'm at my wit's end.
