Door misaligned

My drivers door hits the bottom of the door frame ever so gently when I close it. The door seals fine, but everytime I close it.. err... then close. Not a pleasant sound or sight. How can I adjust it? or is it something that a body shop will have to do?

You can adjust the door by adjusting the door hinges. The hinges can be adjusted either up/down or left/right. I would start from there or you could also adjust the "striker". That is the part where the door latch catches on once the door is closed.

My door does the same thing, I thought maybe the hinges were bad. I couldn't find any adjusters on the hinges, does anyone have a write-up or at least some pictures of where the adjusters are?

since i end up in this thread, just got one question that is there anyway to tighten out door so when we close it, it gives the german auto's solid feel?
my door feels like my old corolla's door, those loosen feeling... i dun really like it...

for your question, just bring it to a body shop that u had already deal with, ask them to do it for u, should be no charge...
