I have my new to me 1991 245SE.
The driver's door has a slight sag, moreso in the rear. The pinstripe was a hair off and the rubber seal was rubbing at the top. I placed a washer under each bottom hinge bolt and now the door opens easier and it's a little better, but the door as a whole now is too low by a hair. There is a loud creak when opening and closing the door from the spring.
What should I do? Is this a symptom of bad door hinge wear or something else?
I have found that I can only move the door in and out from the door bolts. Are the bolts that allow the door to be lifted buried in the side of the car?
