Sagging driver door MY

Post by TheInterceptor » Sun Oct 10, 2010 6:24 am

Gday, the door on my MY is sagging a good half inch or so, enough to not have the window seal up. Now question is, is it easy to reseat the door? I know you have to remove the front right panel to get to the hinges, can i do all this as a one man team?
Looking to save a bit of money as this thing has cost me too much latley...

Cheers guys

Put a jack under it at the back corner with a block of wood in between, usually a quick easy fix, just do a little at a time of physically lift the door if you are strong enough.

And make sure the door is as close to closed as possible so it bends the right way, I used to do it to my Escorts all the time.
