If the pins aren't worn take the top hinge off and stick it in a vice and use a big hammer to bend the hinge fork slightly to the right.

If you're going to the trouble of removing a worn part then you might as well spend the £30 and get a new one to replace it

Which is why I stated "if the pins AREN'T WORN"! Spending ZERO pounds is much better than spending £30 on an inferior replacement part.

No other reason that the door would drop is there? But even then, you can adjust the hinges in the door and on the door post to set the seal and the door gap

Mine got bent when I drove off without the door shut properly and it swung open, there was no side to side adjustment on the hinges. If it is just catching on the door shut side then either the pins are worn or the hinge is bent.
