Check your hinge bushings first. then if they're okay, pull the battery cover. Get a block of wood and a floor jack. Jack the door up untill there is a liitle pressure on it, and then loosen the hinge bolts on the bottom hinge just past snug. Then start loosening the top hinge bolts until the door starts to raise, then tighten. It may take a few times. Be carefull to adjust the battery cover when you replace it
