Sagging doors that don't close well. I adjusted striker to hold it shut so body panels and body line all lined up (by the way only jus loosen the striker enough to slide it around...not necessary to totally loosen), but it was hittin the striker hard cause it was sagging and pins/bushings were fine so here's what I did.....

The door closes like new....well, I'm assuming like new. That tool is the best money I've spent in a long time! However, the picof the result cracks me up!

The body line is perfect and the body panels line up from an in and out perspective with the door skin. However, when the PO did his cheapo crappy repaint job....they didn't make sure the doors were right first which is why the pin-striping, chrome trim, and paint lines don't match up!!!
