Rear Driver Side Door Alignment

Hey Fit dudes, was curious if any of you have experienced strange alignment with your drivers side rear door.

It seems like somewhat randomly my rear door will protrude away from the rear fender. Sometimes the fit is pretty good but often it is like .25" "out" from the rest of the car.

Just curious if any of you have dealt with this? I'm almost to my first oil change so I will have the dealership take a look.

I like my fit but between the creaky window, the dash rattle, the squeeky suspension and the door panel alignment i'm not impressed.

Nothing occasionally "caught" between door and frame like unretracted seatbelt or anything, correct? Let the dealer deal with it if under warranty...

Good luck.
Took me like 10 tries to get all my doors realigned, and only after it mangled the weatherstripping, leaked water, and scraped paint off the other door (that it was hitting).

Waking up an old thread . . . .

Yes, my 2018 Fit has the same issue. The trailing edge of the driver's side rear door "sitcks out" about 1/8" more than on the other doors when closed.
