Dropped Drivers Door

[spivvy]

My door has dropped quite significantly i have to lift it to shut the door,
but i am not skilled enough to do this myself and if the GRP captive breaks i am stuffed ,
does anyone know someone near the northants area who could fix it for me

Did you find anyone to sort this?

It sounds like either or both hinges are loose.

You will need to remove the door card to access the hinges.

The lower hinge is reasonably easy to access and tighten. I would place some cardboard on the sill and close the door (pack enough cardboard to give the required shut lines. Lay across the seats (uncomfortable ) and ensure all 3 bolts are nipped up.

Open the door and see if that has sorted the drooping.

If it has not, then the top hinge will then need nipping up - this is much more of a job as the window and frame will need to be removed.
