Anyone notice any of thier doors hanging lower than the others?..
My driver side door seems to hang lower than the others; the molding line is off a bit by the door handle. Not evident on the other doors. Its as if someone hung from my door and bent it down.. Any suggestions for fixing? can any adjustments be made?

It probably just needs to be adjusted...
Audi has very high tolerances for panel fitment (3mm for all exterior panels, iirc), so it should fit/look perfect. Sounds like a warranty fix...

3mm? Not my car. You can get a little adjustment out of the striker plate at the trailing edge.
All of my plates were way off, all my doors are wonky. Dealer looks at me like I'm nuts when I bring it up. When I show them they shrug.
Mostly it's the leading edge of my front passenger door. it's way off....happens to be the door I hear lots of wind and road noise from too. Hmm...wonder why?
