Sagging doors (replaced bushings already)
Sagging doors (replaced bushings already)
Ok guys, my doors sag enough to scrape along the bottom when they are closed. I've replaced the bushings (which didn't seem too worn), tried the jack under the door trick, and am running out of ideas. I'm hoping its not because my car is folding in half due to being weakened by t-tops. Anybody have any ideas, short of grinding the bottom edge of the doors down?

I loosened my lower hinge & stuck a small metal shim under under it on my drivers door (similar to shimming a house door thats sticking) after replacing the pin & bushing only helped slightly.
The better solution (but not as lazily easy)would be to actually adjust the lower hinge out on the hinge pillar itself (where it's bolted to the frame)
