Once you undo the torsion bar you must be very careful the door doesn't fall on you! It is very heavy. You also have to remove the Tee top to disconnect the wiring. I have had limited success tweaking the door back. Open it and grab the lower corners. Try to quickly twist it in the opposite direction. If it feels very loose and bouncy it won't stay "tweaked". I haven't done it but it is probably possible to fix it without taking it off the car. Probably a better way to do it, you can easily test it to see if it is straight. It does require welding it to stiffen it up.

Sounds tricky..lol I'll do some more reading before I attempt to try it. Is there alot of tension on the bar, as in if I do it wrong will it release and hit me like a garage door spring?
