a little help please
I have a problem with the passenger side door on my 73 sagging. Whenever I open/shut the door it is rubbing the door panel to the point of damaging it. How can I fix the sagging problem?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You probably need new hinge pins, and the brass hinge pin bushings. Have someone lift up on the door, while you look at the hinges. If there is movement in the area of the pins, you'll need to replace them.
If the hinges are tight, you may have bigger problems. One possibility would be rust in the birdcage/cowl area, but this is far less likely.

There are plenty of threads on how to replace the bushings. Try a search.
