They aren't all that bad to realign but if there's damage it becomes
problematic pretty quickly. When I got hit on the RF corner they had to fix
part of the a-pillar that had been distorted and it took them 4 return trips
to get it to fit correctly. Four years later, I still get the occasional
drip in the carwash too.
The problem that the original poster will run into is that there's not really
any provisions to pull the door inward towards the cab, just up/down. I'm
sure you could elongate the holes in the hinge but aside from that I can't
see any way of pulling the door inward.
