Default Adjusting door without removing fender?

Guys,

Is there a way to adjust a door on a 67 Firebird without removing the fenders? I can access the bolts on the top hinge using S-shape wrench, but the bottom hinge may be tricky.

That's a tough one. I would say that even if you get them loose getting the door adjusted and the bolts tightened back up will be even more difficult. What kind of adjustment is needed? Do you need to get to all the bolts in both the door and the body?

The issue here is the pass side door glass does not go all the way to the roof weather seal (there's a gap about 1/16"), and thought about raising the door to close the gap.

Come to think of it, looks like I need to readjust the glass, not the door, as I have decent door gap all the way around.
