hmmmm....
in any case, on a front door shimming the bottom hinge aftward ( betwixt
body and hinge ) raises the rear edge of the door.  ( if hinge is
mounted to the normal 'front' side of the frame )

you say  'forward side' ...
( no vanagon right here  to look at )
in that case ...one would remove a shim . ..

pretty sure I fixed 'low at the rear edge' by adding as shim .
if it is attached at the forward side..
then adding at the upper hinge do it..moving the upper hinge forward.
that sorta 'fits' ...maybe that's what I did.
