My drivers door seems to have sunk a little over the past month. It now doesn't sit flush with the bodywork and i'm having problems opening the door because the catch seems to be out of alignment slightly now because of this.
Any ideas?

I had this on the Sagaris.

The dealer tweeked the door hinges as well as stick the catch plate back on as this had lifted away from the car.

This happened on my T350 - it also damaged the paint on the door edge and the pillar. All fixed under warranty.

If you are out of warranty you can fix that yourself as i did, but it means pulling all the carpet off the side of the foot well, You won't believe the sh*t that the carpet hides, and be carefull as you will get some nasty fibreglass splinters.
You will ned a socket that that has the star shaped Allen type (ish) ends with an extention bar.
And i think there are 4 bolts from what i remember, Took me about half an hour to fix, plus same again to spray glue the carpet back.
Good luck ....Dave
Ps, don't raise it up to much or it will foul the door latch rod.
