   I have just noticed my drivers door is rubbing on the front wing when opened. I think it may have dropped slightly.
   
   How do you adjust the doors? as the hinges are welded instead of bolted.

   You can get a set on eBay that are zinc and nickel coated so last longer

   Yeah covered in 2 soft metals whilst in a high wear area they wont last longer at all.
   
   And to the op its more likely to be the hinge that's sagged on the weld than the pin you are looking at a car that's 12 years old or more. Also the chances of the wing being moved ina car park are pretty high too.
