The passenger side door on my Mustang is about 1/8" out of flush (outward) from the bottom most side crease down. I'm wondering if the outer door panel is malformed or if the door could be adjusted on its hinges.

The top of the door seems to be out of flush inward, but not by as much. That makes me suspect hinges.

Anyone know if the door is adjustable on the newer 'Stang? I haven't taken it back to the dealer yet as I'm still mulling over whether or not I'm being obsessive. Well...of course I'm being obsessive...It's a Mustang after all!

Thought I would see if any of my Mustang brothers and sisters had thoughts on the matter.

Other than this my new baby is flawless stem to stern.

IMNSHO...it doesn't matter what the issue is or how to fix it...take it back to the dealer for review. Its a brand new car and if these things are not caught during QA and then again at the dealer prep you (and your wallet) need to point it out to them! An 1/8 of an inch is pretty far off the mark for a new car body!

Good luck.

Yeah...those have been my thoughts so far but I'm trying something new these days: stopping and thinking before I act.

I'll let everyone know how that works for me. :bigthumbsup

Actually, my passenger door has not been fully closing unless you really give it a good push. It is not out an eighth, but should be adjusted. i will have this inspected at the first dealership visit. And I thought it was just me!

So much for the cars being held for Quality Control

 

[Socktown]

The quality overall is high...but the passenger door alignment is not exactly up to snuff.

Have had other Mustangs past and not been an issue. Doesn't seem to be a huge issue with 2011s either as it looks like only two of us posting here have an issue.

Hopefully it can just be adjusted at the dealers body shop.

Anyone out there know for sure if the hinges/door alignment on the newer 'Stang can be adjusted? The easy answer is "I'm sure". But, hell, I'm not.

I never thought I'd see a V6 Mustang with power. I'm not taking anything for granted. :cooldude:

I've noticed the same thing with my 2011 GT. The bottom seems to not be as flush as the top. Would like to know the answer to the question as well...

Have an appointment at the dealer's body shop 9am Monday morning to get the door adjusted under warranty.

No hassle at all from the dealer scheduling this.
