I was going to tell you to buy some washers and shim it up. But here is another way:

If you need to remove the door, disconnect the electrics. Disconnect the T40 on the door stay. Then loosen the two small E screws at the hinges and lift the door up. I use a 5 gallon bucket to support the door - really heavy.

Grease, grease, grease!

Keeping it running is better than buying new

Check for loose hinge bolts, if the pivots are worn, the worn portion needs to be drilled out and a bushing installed.

See if a dealer can do the job for how much?

a good indie or a good welding shop can probably do the job.

Disconnect any wiring to the door before you give the car to a welding shop.
