I have a fender/door gap that drives me crazy. The other gaps on my car line up great, but the lower fender/door gap widens and doesn't 't look good. Anyone have a suggestion to fix? How can I better align this. It is the same on both sides.

There should be a fender bolt at the front-bottom of the portion of the fender that appears in your pic. It's mounted vertically upwards into a nut that is attached to the inner fender by an L-shaped bracket. If the bolt, the nut, and/or the bracket are not there, that's your problem! Put one in and follow along below.

That lower bolt anchors the side-to-side and front-to-back alignment of the rear lower fender. Loosen it and carefully push the lower rear of the fender inboard, all the while pulling it backwards slightly, until you get the fender panel where you want it. Then tighten the bolt. It would help to have a friend do the tightneing while you adjust the panel.

If that doesn't solve it, you probably need to loosen most of the upper fender bolts and realign the whole fender.
