\"doors and bonnet are poorly aligned\"
\'Spaltmaße\' does not seem to have a ready technical translation into English. I would be worried if my vehicle had lots of ‘gaps’. Another answerer is keen that \'gap\' be included in this sentence. If so, then \"poor gap alignment\" might fit the context
The bolt on panels were refitted with extra sealing in some places and many hours spent ensuring the panel fit and gap alignment was the best that could be achieved

Be sure to install the body shims in the same location and check door-gap alignment with the chassis on the ground.

The user can furthermore use tailor-made analysis tools to measure, visualize and protocol gap-width changes and gap alignment.

Comment: "Thank you. I agree with Cilian O'Tuama that actually a "Spaltmaß" cannot be poorly aligned but in this case the German sentence is awkward too and I am asked to translate it as it is."
