RE: Sagging doors 92 P/U
Fixed my problem...if anyone wants to know a simple, 15 minute fix for sagging doors, here it is. Remove the stud from the door jamb, the one with the TORX bit head. Reach in behind the plastic trim, behind the seat and grab the backing plate the stud screws into. Take everything out. Get a 5/8 drill bit and drill out a little lower than the existing hole. You will have varying measurements depending on sag amount. Replace the striker stud and tighten down. Door should now shut like a charm. Now this of course should be for an old work truck beater like mine, not something nice you're making payments on. I could have done hinge pins and went through a big 2 hour mess, but this worked fine. Door is still sagging but shuts with minimal effort.
