The drivers side door is dropping on my wife's 207cc, 2008, 11000 miles, so well used. The latch is catching the door metal as the door has droped and I can see this on the shut lines as well. I can see any adjustment on the hinges. Has anyone worked on this before? Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Colin.

There should be some toqure bolts which can be lossend off while the car door is open & jacked up with a trolly jack, the jack should just take the slack of the amount of drop , then tighten the bolts , lower the jack & this should of done the trick . If not then the pins in the hinges need renewing , dont leave it or you could lose the door at its worst case .

Thank you for the reply, sorry for being so late coming back to you.
I'll give this a try, starting with the door side mounting.
