Default Sagging Doors

In order to shut my driver side door you have to pick up on it a little bit and it is hard to shut from on the inside sitting down. could this just be doorhinges, any suggestions.

Most older car doors will sag with age.
Was it hit ?
Your probably right about the hinges.

Sounds like the hinges need some work. Replace the pins. Here is a pretty comprehensive article explaining how to do that.

Loosen the hinge bolts on the post slightly and re-align it, then tighten the hinge bolts.
