The hinges are worn out ether replace the hinges or the hinge pins and bushings

i replaced the hinges and made sure that they lined back up with the old ones

Twister

you have to play with it, no 2 doors ever hand the same

thanks should i use shims to keep the door up while i play with it

Soaring

Yeah, or a jack. Get the door stabilized and lined up by whatever means, then bolt it down.

I just took mine off today Jessie, and mine did the same thing kinda. I loosend the bottom hing first and it dropped like that, so check the bottom hing bolts. I took the bolts out of the hing-to-body, but I think you took them out of the door-to-hing?

yeah i took the hinge to door bolts out. saturday is the local car show and hopefully ill get some help or advice from some mustang guys. man i wish someone lived close to me who knows about mustangs
