Get the jack out, cover it with a thick towel.  open door, but keep as closed as possible and jack the the door up- keeping it almost closed at all times. did it to mine. piece of cake.

Same problems here.  I've tried the jack (ghetto) fix and also adjusting it properly with tools.  Now opted for a new hinge when I get it serviced next weekend....  :undecided:
