Droopy Door help
My passenger door has dropped, looks fine when shut but noticably falls off the striker bolt when opened.
Is it as simple as shiming the lower hinge?? if so what can be used to shim the hinge?? Do I need to mess about moving the striker once the hinges is shimmed as the gap around the door is correct when shut??????
Any help greatly appreciated.

Place a place of wood under the door and use a jack to lift it a little. Worked fine on my Cabrio.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

i simply undid the top hinge bolt while my mate held the door.
put a washer/shim in between the hinge bolt did it back up. works a treat. doesnt drop any more.
