Default Drivers side door sagging.

I've noticed that my drivers side door seems to be sagging. The upper right portion of the window seems to be hitting the chrome piece that is near the t-top (hopefully that makes sense). I can lift up on the door and the door lifts up quite a bit and doesn't hit.

Anyone know how to adjust this?

hinges MIGHT be able to be adjusted, but it sounds like the hinge bushings are done. Drivers side upper hinge bolts are behind the dash, lower are behind the kick panel. Door side bolts are behind the door panel, top bolts behind small panel, lower accessable thru a hole in the inner door panel.

Hi, I just replaced my hinge pins in my '77 (driverside top and bottom) I ordered them from mid-america and the "wiggle" problem was solved.
Now for the fun part...Oh yea, there is no fun part they are a bitch to get out but the new ones should hammer in pretty easily. Good luk
