    A repair manual I was looking through mentioned using a marker to mark the original position of the bolts so that when you loosen them (and the door "drops") you will be able to see where your starting position was.

    I tried this on a 2001 nissan pulsar that has hinges that are worn making the door sag but with no luck. The bolt holes in the door are not adjustable like your car. To fix it I loosened off the 2 bottom hinge bolts a fair amount, used a car jack and a bit of wood to jack up and hold the end of the door up and then I put a "shim" piece of metal about 2mm thick in the gap between the bottom door frame and the hinge plate. Tightened up the bolts and removed the jack. The shim pushes the door frame "up" at the rear so the door then aligns with the latch properly. Problem solved. Thanks for the video.

    It is amazing how you got the door fit perfect by guess work. If I did it several try's and lots of patience would be needed.

    This is great for door hinges that aren't welded on. For door hinges that are welded and have the brass bushings that have worn out and the owner didn't replace them and the hole egged shaped out, it is a much harder fix.

    I was messing with my buddy and slammed on the breaks as he was trying to get in and he flew into the door. I tried bending the hinges back but still get a TON of wind noise. I didn't realize you can adjust the door up and down. Ill try this out thanks!

    Tip for anyone else trying this. Accidentally tighten the bolts when your door is slightly too far foward and it will not open enough to try again. I'm sitting here desperately trying to fit the spanner in the tiny gap without pushing the door so far open that it scrapes and bends the outer panels.

    I think you left out a lot of important details. This method normally won't work as there are other issues involved.
    Typically on an older car or a door that has been used a lot, the door bushings will wear out because they are typically oil impregnated brass. This is so the structural part of the hinge doesn't get damaged and for smoother operation. Adjusting hinges because of worn out bushings is not the ideal repair method. Not when bushings are $20 or less.
    The other issue can be because the sheet metal on the door has sagged at the hinge locations. This is more common on 2 door vehicles as the heavier doors cause more stress on the hinge areas. If the hinge bushings are good, you can adjust the door by placing a floor jack with a 2x4 on it near the bottom edge of the door. About 10-12" forward of the rear of the door. With the door almost closed, jack the door up several inches. Compare the striker bolt to the door latch groove. You will have to go a little past the striker as the weight of the door will pull it back down. This may take several attempts to get it right. When correct, the striker should be centered in the latch groove. I like to have the striker more to the bottom of the groove so it will stay aligned longer as the hinges wear and the metal sags over time.
    Unless it's been in an accident, using the bolts to adjust the door position is not the main problem 90% of the time.

    Hi. My car has a dropped door. Its a Vauxhall Astra mk5 3 door. It has brackets that are welded to both the door and car. I tried just opening the door a little and lifting by hand but it didn't do anything. I'm a bit worried about using a jack to lift the door. Any suggestions on how to fix welded brackets? Thanks

The door caught onto the dirt and folded outwards, heard something crack but nothing broke. The door is now rubbing with the fender and the door has damage lol.
