    Hi guys my drivers door is leaking I can look in from the outside, ever so slightly think the door may not be put on right possible sagged, any idea on what to do?
    is it as simply as opening the door and tightening it up?

    If you look over your shoulder, can you see outside a little? If so I have the same problem.

    It's at the top I had a look yesterday and a screw was lose on the hinge so I tighten it all the way, looks better but still got a gap on top back of the door I will take a picture and upload it shortly

    If you've tightened the door completely may mean the seal is tired and just wants replacing. Might also be able to space the seal out a little - I've seen them stuffed with a few things to make them reseal.
    Try another door seal first. Easy fix potentially.

    Heres the gap from the outside


    and heres it from the inside


    it doesn't look that bad now but thats beause i tightened the screw up, still big enough to get the drivers side soaking wet, the door seals look fine, but i will give it another look later, and check all the door hinges again

    Looks like the top of the door (Frame around the window) could be bent out or it may just need the latch adjusting inwards!
