In my experience, door sag is caused by advanced rust
in the sills, causing a loss of structural integrity
and making the whole car sag down in the middle. But
my experience is totally related to tourers and the GT
might have some kind of door sagging problem that I
don't know about.
If the car is sagging from rust in the sills, then
it's time to go in there an do the complete repair.
Inner and outer sills, castle rails, maybe doglegs and
floors... No fun, and not cheap, but if you do it
right, you shouldn't ever have to do it again.
Best of luck,
