I was opening the diver's side door of my 1995 Golf. A wind gust from behind took the door handle from my hand and snapped the door open pretty hard.
When I close the door, I have to apply upward force. My guess is that the bottom hinge slipped a tad forward on the part that screws to the body. I can see that the middle post hits at about the top of the door's tapered mating slot.
The two body hinge screws appear to be hex or torx, and they are not accessible. I assume the way you access that is to unscrew the two hinges at the door side, remove the door. Loosen the bottom hinge and move the bottom hinge rearward perhaps 1/4 inch. Tighten, restore door, and repeat as needed.
The questions that come to mind are
- Is my guess reasonable, or is having something bent more likely?
- It is tricky enough that having somebody else fix it is probably a good idea?
- If I had somebody fix it for me, a body shop would be the place of choice. Or would a VW-knowledgeable mechanic be the better choice?
- How many "hours" do you think it would cost?
