Also check that where the hinge attaches to the door has not cracked the fiberglass. I just went through this last year. Replaced pins and bushings, still sagged. Took 2 of us closely looking at the door with the inner cover off and watching as we open/closed it to see it. Ended up buying a new donor door and repainting. Driver side.

Is this not adjustable through a slotted hole in the hinge somewhere? I have to do this later, as both my doors have started to wear into the paint in the door sills.

This happens way more than discussed. I was gonna have my neighbor do pins and bushings for me.(collision guy) He said he needs to check for cracks around the hinge area first. Sure as hell was.
