sagging drivers door on a mk2 how to sort it?

[Ciaran]

just bought the car and the doors needs a bit of a bang to close it because its sits a bit low.
so how do i sort it and is it much work?

[Blue MK2]

My passenger door did feel like it sat low but i adjusted the door lock mechanism and it shuts perfect now

[Ciaran]

this does sit low though maybe an inch or two is it just a matter of replacing the door pins?

not sure mate. my dad used to fix these problems by putting a car jack under the door

[Ciaran]

well i thought of that already it just lifted the car then when lowered its still the same must be that trusty vdub build quality again! id rather sort it properly so it doesn't happen again.

to fix the door all you do is get a wheel stud and jam it in the bottom door hinge and gently close the hinge, this will correct the sag in the door

dont close it too hard or you'll over correct it, just do it slowly bit by bit

if you do over correct it then just put the wheel stud in the top hinge and do the same.

i detailed this for the mk1 boys, its the same for mk2's
