Hi I have bought this vehicle the drivers door was caught in the wind then snapped the checker strap have replaced it, but the door has dropped about two inches. It will closed if you lift the door with the door handle I have looked at the hinges they seem to be in line. Please how will it reline and close properly?

Yes, the door has been "sprung" which bends the hinges, you might be able to loosen the mounts and readjust it, please let us know what happens.

Best,
Ken
