Door suddenly dropped - J Reg 4.3

When open, u can now lift it back up the dropped 2" (at end) and see the movement in the top door shut mounting

I have heard 2 opinions as to solution and seek further advice. One was pull back carpet on driver lower A pillar by pedals to reveal mount, and 'adjustment / mount can be tightened back up through speaker grille

Clearly, if practical, the speaker aperture is the least invasive - if this is the way, could someone kindly advise what we are looking for and how it is re-secured.

Was always fine then suddenly when re-opened, it just dropped - can easily be lifted and re-closed (no noises or obstructions)

thanks

You will need to remove the door card really as the bush may have given up. Can you see a bolt coming up from below.

Here is a picture of the bush. They can elongate and allow the door to drop. I would not adjust the hinge unless it has moved. The bush is readily available and is top hat shaped and pushed out from the bottom.

A bit of searching, it's all been done and discussed before

It is not too bad to get the card off. There are 3 studs with 10mm nuts on. I use a 1/4 ratchet or ratchet spanner. There may also be a screw behind the ashtray although mine was missing. The screws for the reflector may also go through the door. Here is a picture of the inside of the door card so you know what you need.

fortunately caught it in time - re-tightened bush via speaker hole
