Hey, I have a 88 honda crx and my door has droped a bit on both sides I believe, what could be the problem here? Should I replace both hindges, just tighten them or what should I try?

The first, but not easiet, fix is to loosen up the hinges and adjust them so the door fits right. Now, some hinges/doors are unadjustable. In that case, it brings me to solution number two. That is opening the door a little, putting a car jack under the rearward most edge of the door, and pushing the door back up that way. I work in a body shop and we do it either one of those two ways.
