Default Fender/Door Gaps

It seems to look like my drivers side door and front fender has a larger gap than my passenger side...what causes this, and if there are any fixes...?

look under the car and make sure the tab that holds the fender on the bottom wasn't mistakinly used for a lift point

I have the same thing, but a small gap on the drivers door ( on a cold day they can actually bind and stick , not good ).

I'm going to try losening off the fixings and 'shunting' the fender forward bit.
Don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try.

Good luck.

Thats what does it. You'll have to take off the 2 bolts and re-align that tab. Possibly having to hit it with a rubber mallet a few times. Not hard.

Just fixed my passenger side with a mallet. Mine was bent forward and after a few hits it quickly went back into place and no more fender gap!
