Lightbulb Droopy Doors? Easy Fix! On a Budget!

My driver’s door was sagging and wouldn’t latch correctly when I bought my 89 4Runner.
My solution has proved to be cheap, easy, and long lasting!
I simply loosened the lower door bolts enough to slide a socket behind the bottom hinge to act as a shim. I lost the first one due to it not being big enough to be wedged in after I tightened the bolts back up.
I think mine ended up being a 3/8” or maybe 7/16” socket. Yours may very depending on how loose your hinge is.
The socket in the picture has been in my door for almost 4 years now with no more problems out of it!
