I've got the same issues and not looking forward to fixing it. It's especially annoying when I hit a bump, the door will actually move and up down and make a god awful noise. I remember reading somewhere of a fix, but I totally forget where it was. It involved jacking the door to support it, then unbolting it, and replacing a rubber seal around the hinges I believe. I can't remember. If anyone has fixed their sagging doors, please chime in and mention what parts are needed and about how long it took ya, and how hard/bad of a job it was.

I need to do this at some point too. There is a door pin replacement kit or something out there to fix this problem. I forget the specifics, but i know they can be fixed.
