Side door too far forward

Hello,
Bought a used LS 2008 Panel.
I noticed recently that the driver's door is 1/8" too far forward.
The passenger door has 1/8" between it and the back door, while the driver's side has a 1/4".
When I'm on the freeway the wind whistles through it.
Is there a way to loosen some bolts, move it back 1/8", then tighten the again?
Or, would that be a thing a body shop would need to do?

Thanks!

Did you check the carfax to see if it was in an accident?

I'll try the hinge.
Carfax says no accidents or damage. Although, at 176k it's had to been in a few adventures :-)

Fixed!
Now if I want the wind in my hair I'll have to open the window.

Thanks!

Good that worked! You want wind in your hair!



This was built a few years back.



This , I believe was a design concept, but just a photo shop chop top!

Wind is one thing, sun is another.
My dermatologist would freak out if I bought one of those.
Also, I use it for work and my ladders would look awkward.

Wear a hat and hang the ladders on the ladder rack!



Just don’t block the passenger side doors
