passanger door drops when i open it
Hey, the passanger door on my car doesnt fit flush and drops noticeably when i open it. Is there any adjustment i can do to make it fit more flush? I am guessing the door hinges may be bent where the door drops and its also hard to open.

Try just adjusting that first... if that doesnt do the trick take the fender off and loosen the bolts that hold the door on, then adjust it till its flush. It does take some time to get it just right tho.

I don't think adjusting that will help with his problem because the door sags when open so it has to do something with the two hinges near the fender.

Ok i'll try that out tomorrow morning.
Oh and just some extra info, its the rear of the door where it doesnt fit flush. Its probably about 1/4" from being closed all the way.

Re: (POE)
Yeah the car was in an accident, i dont know the details of it but there is no frame damage. I am sure thats why the door is the way it is. I am going to take it to a body shop and have them take a look at it if i can fix it up myself.
Keep the suggestions coming..

If the Flush part is it being that it doesn't close all the way, adjust that piece Todd mentioned,
Loosen it up, then move it inwards, and then retighten.
