Default door misaligned

Hi, I just recently purcahaced a 2000 audi a4, and I just noticed a slight problem the other day. My driver side door seems misaligned to where there is a gap in the top part of the door, and the door is harder to close. It looks like it is about 3/4 of an inch lower than it should be. Is there a way to adjust the door to where it will align correctly?


Thanks in advance,


Mike Lee

Everything else is fine. I looked the car over top to bottom and the only thing I can find wrong is this door. Nothing seems bent or out of whack, and the car doesnt vibrate or anything.

Thats good then. Look at the hinges on the door. Are they bent?

I would love to know how to do it. The wind noise is driving me insaine (the fact I got sprayed in the carwash doesn't help either) I cant imagine that there is much to it. I just cant tell how to adjust it by looking at it.
