FRONT DOORS DROPPING

[stoop44rio]

I think I read on here before the best method of fixing the front doors dropping was to open them and jack them up with a trolley jack? Any other methods??

I also need to know whats the best way to sort this, both my front doors have dropped about 10mm

the jack methods or the 13mm socket in the hinge and shut the door. or remove the inner trims and adjust the door on the bolts.

same problem....

i he-man'd one door and it made it a little better

 

[ScottD3]

both my front doors dropped.
I replaced the hinges one side and adjusted the other side.

both worked, don't agree with the socket or jack method though.

Could you give a quick run down on how to adjust them thanks

mine has (drivers side) dropped too, whats this 13mm socket all about??

to adjust the doors you need to find the bolts for the hinges inside the car. behind the kick panel and behind dash.

the 13mm socket way, I think is put a 13mm socket in the hinge and shut hte door.
I think thats it. Bend the hinge/door for it to fit.
