Phil,
If the (stationary) part of the door latch was mounted before, when you said
everything lined up, --Then didn't you have to remove it in order to put the
alum trim on?
If the door would swing flush on the outside with the rest of the body, before
the trim was installed, --there should have been enough room between the sill
and the door to accommodate the trim at that time... was there? Is the sill
trim really flat against the sill? Are you sure that it is not just the
location / adjustment of (stationary part of) the latch?

Listers - my BT7 passenger door closed very nicely before I replaced the
aluminum trim - now I need to gain about an eighth of an inch. After going
through all of my books, old e-mails, and tons of photos, I can't find
anything on door adjustments. These doors fit perfectly before all the
bodywork was done, and none of the body/frame work involved changes to the
door mounting location. What's my next move? Do I need to trailer it back
to the bodyshop, or is there an easier way to gain the space I need to get
the door to close?
Thanks in advance, as always.
