Door adjustment tips

[lwt]

Reset the sagging passenger door this morning. Top tip shamelessly stolen from other threads is to tape your 13mm socket to the extension bar to stop it falling off into the cavity. My top tip is not to undo all 4 hinge mounting bolts. Loosen the bottom 2 and one of the top ones, only a 1/4 turn at most. The door will take a good force to lift but will then stay where you put it while tightening the bolts. I found that looking in the door gap at how the door U hook was lining up with the body catch gave a good idea of how much the door was lifted at the rear. Before adjustment this hook was striking the bottom of the catch, now it just grazes the top.
