Hey guys!
just a quick one and please don't laugh if it is obviously something silly!
My drivers side door seems to drop slightly when it is open. Its not causing an issue because once it is closed it goes back square. From what i can see all the bolts on the hinges are fine and tight and there is no signs of damage?
Is there a sleeve or insert inside of the hinge that could be worn away or something?![Confused](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Go back to the hinges, the problem is there. Have someone move the door up and down (gently as to not make it worse) while you inspect the welds on the hinges. I'm willing to bet theres a micro stress-fracture in there somewhere. It deosnt take much separation on one side for the door to drop significantly on the other.
