Default door problem

i have searched and have only found one person with a similar problem as mine.
my drivers side door seems to be about and 1/8 of an inch lower than where it should be.
before you ask, the vehicle hasnt been in an accident, the frame isnt damaged, and all vin numbers match.
the question i'm asking is, where can i get instruction on how to remove the drivers side quarter panel ( i think thats what the panel in front is called!) so i can see what the door hinge bolts look like.

Is the door misaligned when closed? Is it difficult to close? If you lift on the door while closing, is it easy to close? If you answered no, yes, yes I think the door is sagging. Most likely someone leaned on it while open causing the hinge to bend. I have no idea how to take the door panel off though so I can't help you there.

r u talking about the front fender? if so, there are bolts at the edge when you open the hood, a few more on the bottom where you lift the car and 2 or 3 more from the inner door. not sure how this will help your problem though???
