Default door sagging

my drivers side door sags and hits the bottom when i close it. Those of you that have fixed this can you give me any tips? The only thing i can think of is to tight the 2 bolts on the door to the car. Thank you,
Jason

Also,with the door open,Lift up on the outside edge,
The car itself should move not just the door..
If the door has excessive movement or play in the hinge,
the bushings in the hinge are probably worn out..

I just replaced the lower hinge on my drivers side door for the same reason....Make sure they are lubed up in there to prolong life...

for those who haven't done this before I found that taking the fender off makes it a lot easier so you can get to the bolts and adjust it right then with out having to do guess work.

You just need to adjust them correctly, having the fenders off makes it a lot easier, do 1 at a time (either top or bottom mount) loosen one mount, have a friend pickup the door and hold it, then tighten it down...volia problem solved.

read much?
Yes, there are bushings inside the hinge which support the weight of the
door at its pivot points..
