Door adjustment

The drivers side door on my Cayman appears to have sagged a little and I was wondering if anybody knew how to adjust it? It's not fouling anything but the door to front wing panel gap is off and it's annoying me. 

It's entirely possible that either the door or wing has been off at some point (causing the uneven gap) but they appear to be original and none of the painted bolts have been disturbed on either panel and the door paint is original (it had a front end respray when sold as a used approved by porsche) 

There doesn't appear to be any adjustment in the door but I assume that it must be possible

No experience with Cayman (or any other Porsche models) but in the dark history of time had this with a Triumph, was a worn hinge - specifically the pin - replaced it (with one from a breakers back when you could climb over the wreckage) and it was much better. 

Worth looking to see if there is any wiggle room on the hinge bolts or if there are signs of wear there.

Leo, I emailed you some instructions from the workshop manual.

Thanks I really appreciate it. It's not far off (maybe a mm) so I'll probably just live with it for now rather than upset anything else
