Robin,
I could be wrong in your case, but I found the warping of my doors seemed to be on purpose to fit the rear tub. I did have to open up the holes in the chassis where the hinge bolts go so that I could move the top and bottom of the door in and out. By doing this, along with spacers between the chassis and the door hinge I was able to line up the door with the rear tub. You need to fit the rear tub before you fit the striker plates. Once it was all lined up, I then fitted the striker plates and cut the striker pin holes.(Pictures on my Flickr site)

I think Patrick will comment, because I think he straightened one of his doors and then bent it back again to fit.

Peter
