Default Drivers side door sag??

My drivers side door sags a little a seems to get caught when closing. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this and if there is an easy fix?

If you lift up on the door does it move up in down? If it does you may have a worn hinges. You also might be able to adjust the door as well

Is it a hard process to change the hinge?

It wasn't too bad, You should have a small spring tool to remove and install the door spring.

My driver door sagged also. Had to replace upper hinge. Did not need any spring tool, as I used an recycled hinge. Trick is to mark old hinge location, hold door up, remove old.. put in new in same location. Probably will have to adjust since current one is sagging. Be careful when closing first time or damage paint if misaligned. Maybe shop do cheap? If takes more then hour they a bad shop... Keep in mind left and right hinges look the same, but are NOT.

If you get a hinge set you will need a friend to help, doors are pretty heavy.
