OK the bottoms of Mo's doors are sticking out now from the rest of the car. For those "simple" minded like me, what is the best way to pull this back in and improve the alignment..??  I have been given suggestions which vary from playing with the hinges to removing the door and flexing it to playing with the striker plate.

What are ya hinges like? If ya open the door and lift the rear of the door up, does it lift up heaps? |

A little bit at the hinge will be magnified at the other end of the door. |

Ok ... so to fix this is it the hinge pin or hinge screws that need to be replaced..? The hinges themselves seem pretty good (but I am sure someone with more knowledge would tell me otherwise...  )

Not sure if hinges are causing most of the problem, it's really something i'd have to see. |

It's most likely your hinges, they get saggy with use, the drivers side more so. You can get new pins to rebush your existing hinges... |
