'86 Suburban barn door adjustment

Anyone know how to adjust the rear cargo doors? I know there are 2 hinges on each side with 3 bolts each, but don't know how to make adjustments...

Re: '86 Suburban barn door adjustment

Let two of three bolts be loose on each hinge on one door at a time. And then you can loosen the third bolt just a little at one of the upper or lower hinges, so that you can adjust the door by some effort. Just repeat the process on the other hinge and then go back and forth until you are satisfied. When you are done, torque down all six bolts on that door.

Thanks Chevak
Your method helped out a lot, I neglected mention that I replaced the weatherstrip on both doors and the top header...if I had to do it all over I would replace the weatherstrip on one door, let the foam compress, then do the other, because once i put it on, the doors wouldn't close
