Trouble With Front Doors.

[Brendo!]

Hello i was just curious on how to get my front doors off to prep for paint as i can't get them off, probably a dumb question but yeah any help is appreciated thanks

There are 4 bolts on the inside of the door. Undo them.

 

The stay that stops the door swinging has a pin, hit the pin from underneath with a hammer gently it will pop out.

 

Voila, door is off.

 

Easier with 2 people.

 

I'm assuming this car is an old corolla?

One way takes the door off the hinges, the other takes the door and the hinges off the body-

 

Note how they shut before you take them off. If they have drooped (especially the driver's door) shape a bit of 1mm metal sheet and put it between the bottom hinge and the door to tilt the door back to where it latches cleanly.

ohk yeah i have them off now, the only door that droops is my passengers front door, is there a way or with pictures you could explain what you mean like the metal sheet after hinge attached to body then before attached to door ? ?
