Anyone know? My driver's door sags a bit and it almost rubs at the rear bottom. Hopefully this is easy to fix. Any ideas? thanks!

I've got the same problem. I even had someone lift up on the door all of the way while I tightened the four bolts down, and it still sags a bit. I am going to pull the doors off and drill out the holes a bit more to give me more play. That should take care of it.

Pin has dropped? Not sure what you are talking about. The only pin in the door hinge just prevents the door from opening further than it should.

I havent ever really looked in my car for a pin but in my friends car his pin had dropped and this had affected the doors ability to close it had to be sort of lifted to be closed
