run Saturday I went to get in the car. I couldn't open the drivers door very easy from the outside. This seems to be getting worse quickly, I now open from the inside from the passengers side - PITA - is there an adjustment on the inside of the door panel? Any tricks to taking the door apart so it will go back together in the same amount of pieces

An excellent tip from Mrmerlin is to place some adhesive tape on the outside of
the door across the handle before you start, I used duct tape, this saves you
having to align the handle.
Once the door card is off and the locking motor is out of the way access isn't
to bad, the anti-theft cover is missing on mine, don't remove the link rod at
the hinge end, pop it off at the lock end then once you've got the old hinge out
transfer it to the new, it's easier and there's more room to pop it back on at
the lock end, I used a small pair of needle nose pliers

I've had to replace the hinge inside the door on both sides of the car. I've got
