How do i fix my dropped doors?

[paul13899]

Ok, Basically both of my doors have dropped. The drivers side is worse than the passengers door so how do i rasise them again? theyre rubbing on the catch as the door is closed.. no BMW Clunk here

Do the door lines line up? If they do then I'd adjust the position of the catch on the b pillar. If they don't lineup you can adjust them by loosening off the hinge bolts (the bolts that go into the door) and pull the door up and then do them up again, repeat until correct.

I think that I would start by checking the central 8mm hinge pivot bolt for wear,the doors were gapped up at the factory and it's usual to be able to swap doors from car to car just by removing these bolts(and the stay and electrics plug,of course)and lifting the door off the lower hinge stub.

If you open the door slightly, can you lift it easily to wear it should be? I.E., is there actually wear somewhere (unusual) or is it misaligned?
