How do I fix a sagging car door?

How can I fix a sagging car door? I drive an old car, and I noticed that the door has now started to sag. I don't want to have to go to the repairman—is there any way I can fix it at home?

Good for you for noticing! A sagging car door means that your door hinges are worn out and need replacing. Quickly fix your sagging door by following the steps below:
  • Note your car’s make and model and buy the proper hinge for your car.
  • Using a car jack, prop the door up.
  • Remove the hinge bolts attaching the hinge to the car and replace the old hinge with the new one
  • Adjust as necessary.
There you go! Your door should be as good as new.
