Would anyone know how to adjust the doors left and right on storage doors. When I first purchased the coach the spacing was even between the doors. Now the doors look like they have shifted and the spacing is uneven and a couple of the doors are almost touching when closed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There should be a spacer in the hinge molding the doors are hung into. When the door is open, do they slide over left and right? If so, you may be able to install a very small rivet up through the underside of the hinge to take up the gap.

Thanks for the response Wizard. The doors do not move when open. There looks to be some sort of body molding that covers the hinges on the outside runs the length of the first four doors the doors appear to ride on a common metal bar that runs the length of the four doors caped at each end. One of these end caps is protruding out in the front and I can see a small part of what I am calling the metal bar.

Again thank you for you help.

Behind what looks like the cover is actually one half of the hinge. Picture interlocking "S"s with a little tighter loops. The body side of the hinge is a long continues extruded aluminum molding with a loop. the doors have a matching loop and the end caps act as a spacer. One of the end caps may be broken and the section in the loop has fallen out.
