Recently my door hinges "dropped" so now when the door closes it gets pulled up onto the striker instead of slamming into it. I'm guessing my hinges need to be repinned because i can lift the door the ¼" that i need without the hinges moving. Am i correct in this assumption or can i adjust the hinges on the cowl/pillar to fix the problem?
I'm assuming this problem gets worse with time because its gone from not closing right to not latching at all without lifting the door.

you need to get hinge rebuild kits and rebuild the hinges. Not that expensive or hard if you take your time.
