My driver side door sags at the end making it impossible for the window to roll and seal properly. Is there a fix for door sag?
thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Is there a fix for door sag?

yes. and it's easy too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

first, make *sure* it's not rust related. take off the rocker panel and check the longs for rust.
if you got rust, you'll need to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)


now, if the car is rust free and otherwise in good shape, make sure it's the door sagging and not just the window being out of alignement ...

if the back of the door does not line up with the rear fender, do this:

open the door about half way, roll down the window, stand behind the door and grab the bottom of the door at the far rear end and slowly push up the door a few times and release until it's the right height ...

make sure you don't slam the door shut afterwards as you most liekly will have to losen and adjust the door-stop on the rear door jamb to make it close right.
we don't want any dings in your nice paint, do we?
