My wife loves El Caminos so a couple of her friends and I bought her a 1982 Conquista for her 40th birthday a few years ago. I am not as handy as most on this forum and I am stumped. (I am going to use incorrect terminology here..) The driver's side door was always a bit tough to close but now it won't close at all. The male part that is attached tothe body that accepts the female part of the door has moved so that they no longer line up. The door itself is positioned correctly but you can tell by looking at the paint in the door frame that the male part has moved in and down about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. It looks like there may be a special tool that much like a screwdriver could be used to loosen and re-position the male part. but I am not sure. I have tried leverage and blunt force to move it back to no avail. Any suggestions or should I just bring it to a body shop? Thanks in advance...
