How to Adjust a Sagging Car Door?

[VanEmerson]

Entire car door lowering causes the door sagging issue. The entire left door is sagging. Loosen the hinge screws on the body side and raise the hinge installation position. The rear end of the car door dropping causes the door sagging issue. Loosen the hinge screws on the body side, move the hinge backward, and move the lower hinge backward. If the vehicle is relatively old, this situation can only be resolved by replacing the door hinges.

I've fixed quite a few door issues. Door sagging is usually caused by loose or worn hinge screws. First, close the door tightly to check the gap - if one side is lower than the other, it's sagging. Try tightening the screws near the hinge with a properly sized wrench, or add thin metal shims to raise it if needed. If the hinge is severely rusted, you'll need to replace the entire hinge. Always wear gloves when working with tools and support the door during operation to prevent injuries. Regular maintenance checks on screw tightness can prevent this issue. Don't neglect driving safety - an unstable door may cause abnormal noises or even fail to close properly. It's best to address this early to avoid problems on the road.
