99 CLK 200 Drivers door sag??

[Mikesmerc]

Just bought the above for the missus, the drivers door seems to have dropped slightly and it needs a hefty push to close to the second catch. I tried lifting the door by hand to see if there was any play in the hinges but with no sign.Was thinking of slackening the door bolts and raising the back of the door to counter act this.
Any ideas?
Thanks

the bolts are all adjustable - loosen SLIGHTLY and yank door up. re-tighten. try. re-do agian and again until you are happy (the doors on my coupe I spent 3 hours getting it right to within 1mm all round...)

OH - do the bolts on the surface that is parallel to the door when its closed - on mine thats the ones on the door, not the pillar.

Might it not be just the striker plate needs adjusting?

The same bolts on my one Guy, will give it a go over the wkend. Wouldnt think that its the stiker plate Tom, as the door the sits correctly when closed.
