Door Sagging?

My drivers side door is hanging a bit low, when I close it which is not as easy as it should be I can actually see it lift to match the locking system. I realise it needs adjustment but is there any way to loosen the bolts without removing the front quarter panel?

The nuts are integral with the door frame so you don't need to remove the quarter pannels to loosen or tighten the bolts for the door hinges.
Make sure you chock the door up with a couple of bits of wood before you undo the bolts, otherwise you'll have one hell of a time re-aligning the door.
I got a great tip for re-adjusting sagging doors from a Rolls Royce guy in Canberra a couple of weeks ago, but it's a scary concept.... jack the car up very slightly - only a mil or so at a time above normal resting height - chock the door at the new height and let the jack down.... told you it was radical.. apparently Rolls owners wet themselves when they hear about this

LOL!

sometimes the fixes that aren't in the handbook are the best
Reminds me of the "hayride" in the movie The Dish.
