Dropped passenger door

Hi I am no expert on Fiats and not familiar with the door type.

 

However usually the adjustment is on the hinges. By loosening the bolts you can then adjust the door.

 

You may want to establish why it has dropped.

 

Is the the door physically lower, or just hard to close.

 

Sometimes if the striker plate (the bit the catch closes on to) has moved it will affect the way the door shuts.

 

Doors can be pretty heavy, usually a trolley jack with some wood on will do the job to support it and lift it.

 

Alternatively, you can use a jack to raise a dropped door if there is no adjustment. Although you can cause damage if you get carried away.

 

Hope this helps
