Drivers door hinge adjustment?
« on: 03 February 2008, 23:01 »
Hi all I'm new here  :wink: I having a bit of a problem with my drivers door on my Mk3 GTI 3 door  :sad:
The door has dropped a bit and the hinges seem ok it just needs adjusting back is there and easy way to do this?   As to me it seems that the front wing is in the way of the bolts  :undecided:

Any help would be great cheers Neil  :wink:

Might want 1 strong person if your going to be messing about trying to get it on, otherwise it could all go wrong, or a bit of rope to the garage roof or tree. lol  :grin:

Doing this myself, noticed its the top half hinge that seems to go. Bought 4 new top half hinges (2 for each door) for about 7 quid each and some lovely new chrome catches because mine are a total mess with the doors dropping so badly!
