Default Drivers Side Door Leak

Hey quick question here, my drivers side door is leaking at the top, driving I can hear wind and outside noises, and can't go through a car wash. The molding is fine, however if you jam your finger up in the molding you can literally see outside. A quick glance in the side mirror at the body seams confirms that my drivers side door has "drooped" a bit and isn't lining up correctly.

I'm wondering how I would fix this, I couldn't find anything in RAVE, and am contemplating taking the car to a body shop, as it should be a quick and inexpensive fix, but if its easy how do I go about fixing it?

I have not done it to one of our Discos, but I just had to do the same thing for my son's Blazer. The body shop removed and replaced both hinge pins and realigned the door. More than I wanted to do. The good news....someone new at the front desk quoted me $60 for the whole thing....was supposed to be a tad over $150 !! Nice to get a deal every now and then !

Very nice, if I have to i'll take it up to a body shop, but I'd love to tackle the problem myself out in the garage. What exactly do you do? I've herd that you loosen the hinges, jack the door to the height you want then just re tighten them?
