Sticking Drivers side Door

I have an 82 Firebird Coupe and the Driver side door is sticking on the door striker. How do I adjust it?

Re: Sticking Drivers side Door

Your door is sagging because the hinge pin bushings are worn. The hinges are welded to the door and not adjustable. Open the door and grab the outer end and wiggle it up and down. If you can feel any slop, then you need to replace the bushings.
You could adjust the door striker bolt down a little lower, but this is only a band-aid and the door would most likely then rub on the sill plate.
