Driver door sags and rubs when closing?

[VIPER GTSR 91]

The driver door on my 99 has dropped slightly. It closes ok but rubs at the bottom just before latching or when opening. I am taking it in to my viper tech soon but wonder how much of a job is this to adjust? What is involved in doing this? Thanks.

it's free if you do it yourself and doesn't require any special tools. Just do a search for something like "door adjust".

Here's one thread on how to do it: http://forums.viperclub.org/showthread.php?t=603076&highlight=door+adjust

I've done my passenger side several times and one thing that made it go a lot easier was to fold a towel and lay it on the sill so that the door rests on it and stays at the correct alignment while you tighten the bolts. Remember to not loosen the top bolt so that the hinge pivots on it and cannot move fore/aft.

Only tool you need is the proper torx head bit.

Is beer a tool? If so, that would make this project a 2 tool job.
