I'm glad you posted on this topic. I just recently noticed that my driver door is sagging.

Default Was your problem that the door didn't shut all the way unless you closed it harder? Because this is

what I have been experiencing with my passenger side door, really annoying.

Mine has started to rub the fender and make noise. It sounds ghetto.

Because of the sag, I get extra wind noise and squeaks. Not okay to me.
