Is this normal for e30s to have door to quarter window trim misaligned like this? There is no more room at quarter panel trip slotted holes to push the whole thing any lower. Door was aligned to rear quarter panel (no trim was installed) and it's perfect there. Only the top trim and the lower window sill trim are off. Is it common or there is some trick to this?

door is perfectly alight as far as the fender and the rear quarter panel is. I didn't take the fender pic put you can see its in line with the rear quarter. Gaps are all even. If I align mouldings, the door won't be aligned to panels. Hence my question for some special trick to get this doneComment

you already have it aligned to the hoffmeister kink. that is the determining line as far as body continuity is concerned. it's also the line your eye will follow. if that appears off it won't matter that the trim lines up. it will look off even more.

LionKingShirt Combines Art, Humor, and Celebration
In an era where fashion is not just a way to wear but also a way to express personality, T-shirts have become a symbol of freedom of self-expression. Young people today are looking for items that can speak for themselves, express their aesthetic taste, attitude towards life and even their own sense of humor. Not out of that flow, LionKingShirt was born as a pioneering brand, perfectly combining art, humor and festive spirit in each design. It is this unique blend that has turned birthday shirts into an indispensable part of personal events or parties for modern youth.
More Than A Shirt: Fashion Is A Form Of Expression
Before evaluating a product, it is important to understand the cultural thinking behind choosing an outfit.
1. What Do Young People Look For In Fashion?
No longer just dressing well or being on trend, modern consumers, especially Generation Z and Millennials, want more than that. They seek personal connection, messages, and sometimes a little healthy attention through the items they wear.
Designs inspired by your idols help you catch the trend.

2. T-Shirts – A Mobile Canvas For Personal Creativity
Thanks to the flexibility in design, printing and mixing, T-shirts become the perfect choice for self-expression. Each shirt is a story, a perspective on life or a memorable moment – expressed through images, words, symbols.
3. Fashion as Identity: Wearing What You Stand For
Clothing today is more than appearance—it’s identity in motion. Young people use what they wear to express values, beliefs, humor, and moods. Whether it’s a shirt with a bold graphic, a witty quote, or an inside joke only their circle understands, it becomes part of how they communicate with the world. In this way, T-shirts are no longer just fashion—they’re personal declarations.
Art In Every Stitch
A beautiful T-shirt is not only about the shape or material, but also the visual story behind it. This is where art speaks.
1. Collaboration With Independent Artists
Lion King Tee Shirts collaborates with many young artists, who have unique drawing styles and profound messages. Thanks to that, the designs are always exclusive, limited and full of creativity.
2. Journey From Drawing To Product
Each shirt goes through the process of ideation, sketching, color selection, testing, sample printing and finishing. DTG printing technology helps to preserve the original drawing and vivid colors like a painting.
Humor To Connect: When Meme Culture Reigns
In a world filled with information, laughter becomes the key to connecting quickly and effectively. Humorous T-shirts are therefore the priority choice of humorous souls.
1. Why Is Humor Attractive?
A shirt with a humorous design not only makes the wearer happy, but also makes the other person laugh. It is the easiest way to start a conversation, create sympathy and spread positive energy in meetings.
2. Outstanding Meme Designs Of LionKingShirt
It is impossible not to mention the Kendrick Lamar MUSTARD Meme Shirt that once created waves on social networks. The cartoon character image shouting MUSTARD! with extreme typography makes the wearer both individual and humorous. This is a clear demonstration of how the brand incorporates internet culture into the product.
A perfect tee will help you feel confident and in the mood to go out.
Honoring The Event: Commemorative Clothing
Not only a product to wear, T-shirts are also a souvenir, associated with special occasions such as birthdays, meetings, team-building or graduation ceremonies.
1. Personalize For Every Happy Occasion
Lion King Shirt: Top Premium Tees for Modern Fashion designs printed with names, ages, personal themes, and commemorative images are popular. With online design tools, users can easily create their own shirts in their own style for birthdays, groups of friends or family.
2. Record Memories Through Each Shirt
A group photo at a birthday party, where everyone wears the same shirt is a memorable moment. Each shirt will carry the emotions and impressions of the party and make the wearer remember it forever.
3. Turning Moments Into Wearable Keepsakes
Special events come and go, but the memories tied to them can last a lifetime—especially when they’re worn. A well-designed T-shirt becomes more than fabric; it becomes a memento of laughter, shared joy, and meaningful connections. Whether it’s for a birthday, reunion, or team event, these shirts hold the energy of the moment and let people relive it every time they’re worn or seen in a photo.
Quality Accompanies The Message
A beautiful design and good ideas are not enough if the product does not ensure quality. With LionKingShirt, sustainability and user experience are top priorities.
1. Cotton Fabric And Superior Color Retention Printing Technology
Using 100% cotton, soft, absorbent, and skin-friendly. DTG printing technology does not peel, retains color well after many washes, helping the print stay sharp as new.
2. Diverse Sizes, Easy-To-Wear Shapes
Unisex shirts, many sizes (XS–5XL) suitable for all body types and genders. Flexible designs make it easy to coordinate from streetwear, casual to smart-casual.
Fashion is no longer a race to follow trends, but a journey to find personal identity. In that journey, each design - even a simple t-shirt - can become a tool to express emotions, share laughter and capture moments. Choosing the right shirt is not just about wearing it, but also about feeling it – it's a way to be true to yourself and spread positive spirit to those around you.

b pillar trim snaps in only one spot (slots on the door frame dictate its position). The same for the door frame moulding.. It just snaps in with no adjustment. I can possibly try removing rear quarter window again and it's trim, remove rivets and reposition it but it was never disassembled after BMW had its hands on it so not sure I want to mess with it. I just wasn't sure if it's normal. I looked at some pics of all original E30s for sale on BaT and it looks like that trim alignment is hit and miss. Different levels of good/bad from car to carComment

The chrome / silver trim at the base of the window can at least be nudged upward to align with the other trim. I recently removed and replaced mine. There is a bit of wiggle room to slide it up or down using plastic trim tools (and patience). I made a post about it here:
