Default Driver's door droop - what are my options?

After wondering why my drivers door was getting noisier at speed I've realised
The door has dropped a bit and it's letting water in to rot the bottom of the door.

Can the door be adjusted in some way or do I need to do something to the hinges? I'm probably going to need another door at some point if I can't stop the rust.

You can lube pins to preserve them such as they are. The easiest way to cure droop is to loosen the bolts on the hinge and pull one shim out of the bottom and put it in the top. Only takes a couple of minutes

What year? Please attach a photograph. Sometimes a weld is backing sometimes a pin is work. Et cetera...
