door hinge

Hi all
I am a newbie to door hinges. I have a 99z24 and my drivers door is sagging and hitting the striker. Can anyone please tell me how exactly to adjust and tighten the door. Pictures or diagrams would help becuase I have never done this before.

thanks all

You need to replace the hinges / bushings.....Same as my 99z. There like 40 some dollars from the dealer.
One of these days I"LL FIX MY DRIVERS door.

To easily get at the bolts, you'll want to remove the fender on that side. Get the door closed and latched as close to where it needs to be as possible, duct tape all across the top, back edge, and bottom, then unbolt the lower hinge and bolt in the new one, then do the top the same way. Remove the tape, install the fender, and clean up any goo from the tape.
