 If the doors fits good it does not need adjustment it needs the weather
strip replaced with the proper stuff. many people have tried many different
low cost fixes for weather strip and most aren't worth the price of the glue
to stick it on. go to one of the regular Bricklin suppliers, like bob or
terry, the stuff they sell isn't cheap but it works.
 If the door sticks out on the bottom then the striker on the sill plate
needs to be moved in. Loosen the two bots that hold it on and move it in a
bit at a time. If you go too far the door will either not latch or if it
does it won't release due to the pressure. you may actually have to move it
out as it may already be in too far and not allowing the door to fully
latch.
