Worn Hinge Adjustment
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

If the upper hinge wear is minor, it can sometimes be adjusted out by simply loosening the front 2 bolts, and bumping the upper hinge forward to tilt the door back up in the rear into alignment (done with the strike removed). It's much harder to bump either hinge up, or the rear hinge forward - in either case, it's better to bite the bullet and replace both hinges.
