My entry door is out of square and the top left corner is making contact with the frame and it seems to be getting worse.

I contacted lippert and they sent me a link to adjust the door camber and I have as far as I can tell but it only seems worse.

Anyone have this issue? I called a dealer and they said it was common, but they are months out and he recommended trying to fix myself as they charge $139/hour. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm thinking that adjusting the camber of the door is not going to fix the out of square problem. The top of the door needs to be adjusted to the right by somehow tweaking the top hinge. I'm not sure how that would be done though.

I took a little sandpaper to the door frame to smooth out where it was being gouged by the door. I also used the sandpaper to take a little material off the door lip that was hitting, just enough to clear. Then I repainted both the door and frame. This is something that should not be happening. There needs to be a way to adjust the door but there does not seem to be any way. My way worked. Whether it is the best way or not is debatable, but it worked for me.
