Door sagging

Can anyone fill me in on how to fix this issue. I know our doors are heavy and after time they tend to sag. Don't know if taking it to body shop is the best option. Thank you

The door hinge is prolly going bad. I would just replace the door or try to tighten the bolts securing it to the frame and door and see if it helps.

Get a jack and lift the door up up a bit in the center of it. Then loosen the bolts on hinge, dont remove. Then jack door to desired height. Tighten bolts and then you should be good. Thats what I did. You can use the oem jack if you dont have a reg hydraulic jack.

Just keep in mind, any fix you have done to the hinge, it will most likely be a temporary fix. Getting a new one would probably be costly, but having to re adjust the hinge is also a hassle.
