mines a five door, and since we changed the doors.. they no longer match up, no mtter how we try! just means that you have to close with slightly more force!

You can put a wheel bolt in the door hindge, then you close the door SLOWLY! which stretches your door hinge & levels up you door.  Saw this on here ages ago, as trying to remove the door pins in a Golf is hard :-(

I was in a bt of a rush to do mine, so just used a trolley jack and a plank of wood to bend the hinge back up. Not the best solution but works and is about a 5 min job!!
