My doors have dropped I'm gonna have to do the hinges I think because I undid the lug situated inside the door frame lifted it up then tightened again…

I almost got my door wedged in place cause of that though!

Depends how much down they are I'm guessing, been meaning to ask for a while also!

Got this link for you guy's. Still got to do mine, but  I have bought some striker pins that the door catches shut onto. Undid mine but the capture nut they bolt into moves around (obviously so you can adjust the shut). Does any one know if i undo them fully the fixing will drop into the body work and be lost.

Let me know if this works guy's.

Little golf had the same problem. He phoned the main dealer and there advice was to bend the hinges into place. He posted this works well.

Any way put the door striker pins in, but still got to adjust my door.
Mind you mine isn't 1/2" out. Went to get my angle grinder out to notch a couple of washers out but my Bro has been at my tools again there's nothing left on the disc Grrrrrrrrrr :banghead:
