Dropping door

[maddox710]

Recently I've noticed my drivers door is dropping loads and scrapes on the door sills, any know what the beat thing to do is to fix this and get the door back into alignment ?

New door. It's usually the pin that wears out. Mine does it slightly. Dunno if you could put a weld in it

Mine has done this ever since I've had the car just have to slam it a bit harder to make it close lol

Ahh bum might have a look at weekend see if i can find a solution

u dont need a new door, just a new door hinge, pretty common on starlets.

Arnt they welded on though?

[Ryan-11]

no there bolted on, try opening the door and lift the back of the door, if theres movement then its defo the hinge.

But it's finding a new hinge.
