Poorly fitting doors and panel gaps are often the result of improper repairs. To correct and prevent this issue:

1. Inspect the Door Alignment: Check if the doors are aligned properly by looking at the gaps around the edges. Misaligned doors can be adjusted by loosening the hinges and repositioning them.
2. Check the Panel Gaps: Measure the gaps between panels to ensure they are even. Uneven gaps may require adjustment or replacement of the affected panels.
3. Tighten or Replace Fasteners: Loose or missing fasteners can cause misalignment. Tighten all bolts and screws or replace any that are damaged.
4. Seek Professional Help: If the problem persists, consult a body shop that specializes in alignment and panel adjustments.
