Drivers door dropped. Easy DIY fix?

[El Choppo]

Apologies is this has been discussed and answered before, but I've noticed the drivers door is out of line on my T6.1

When I bought the van I mentioned that it wasn't closing properly, and it was fixed when I collected it, but I think they must have just moved the strike plate rather than adjusted the door.

Is there a simple and easy fix? If so, what's the answer? Thanks

There's 2 spline bolts (one accessed from inside the van and one on the hinge) that you can loosen then get someone to lift up the door why you tighten them back up.

Thread '(How to) Front Door Lower Hinge Replacement'

4 May 2024

I thought I’d do a ‘how to’ as seeing a lot of questions about the broken spring on front door lower hinges and just replaced mine today.
Tools required-
Size 10 spline tool with extension and ratchet.
13mm spanner
10mm spanner
T15 and T20 Torx bits and driver
Firstly remove the plastic trim on the wing that covers the top hinge area. There’ll you see a 13mm head size bolt on the top of the hinge.
Now open the door and unclip the rubber wiring harness cover from the door post. Once done you’ll see a yellow ribbon, if you pull this out the post a black zipped cover will follow. Unzip this...
