[A/S] More help needed with door adjustment



The 2x4 technique worked great and easily got rid of the droop.  I 
did knock the lower trim piece loose in the process, but it was 
easily pop riveted back into place.

It seems that one more adjustment is now needed.  It looks like the 
top of the door is curved in just a bit too much.

As things are right now, the door closes a lot easier, not dragging 
on the threshold, but you still need more pressure than what I would 
expect to pull it shut from the inside.  Pushing shut from the 
outside doesn't seem to require much at all.

I tried standing the 2x4 up in the doorway, closing the door and 
pushing at the latch, but was not able to make any changes.  Keep in 
mind that I am a lightweight, and while standing on the ground I 
can't get much force on the door.  I was also concerned about messing 
up the screen door.  Tried with the screen door both open and also 
latched to the door.

Is there any easy way to fix the top of the door, or is this about as 
good as I can hope for?

Thanks again,
Christopher
